Question
Figure Q1(b) Helium Ballon with two passengers
(b)
Figure Q1(b) shows nine balloons are filled with helium gas where its weighs
is only about one-seventh of what air weighs under identical condition. The
buoyancy force will push the balloon upward. Each balloon has a volume of
100 m and carries two people, 70 kg each. Assume the density of air is 1.16
kg/m. The weight of ropes and the cage is neglected. Determine the net force
acting on the balloon, the acceleration of the balloon when it is first released
and the maximum amount of load the balloon can carry.
