Textbook Question
Chapter 10.8, Problem 3Q
To stay aloft, a blimp must achieve neutral buoyancy; that is, its density must equal that of the surrounding air. The density of the blimp is its total weight (blimp, helium and air, passengers, and ballast) divided by its volume. Assume that the gross weight of the blimp includes the blimp’s structure and the helium, but does not include the air in the ballonets or the weights of the passengers and ballast. If the ballonets are filled with 12,000 ft3 (340 m3) of air at 1.00 atm and 25 °C, what additional weight (of passengers and ballast) is required for neutral buoyancy?

There are two particles, one is heavy and the other is light. The light particles diffuse faster than the heavy particles. This relationship is known as Graham’s Law of Effusion. Since both gases are at the same temperature, they must have the same average kinetic energy (½ mv2), where m is mass and v is the velocity (like speed). Since both gases have the same average kinetic energy, you can state that ½ mLvL2 = ½ mHvH2. Multiplying both sides by 2 gives you mLvL2 = mHvH2. Rearranging the equation to get both masses on the same side of the equation will give you mL/mH = VH2/VL2. In 3a and 3b, you probably noticed that the heavy gas particles took twice as long to diffuse as the light gas particles. This means that the light gas particles are moving twice as fast, VH/VL = ½. Therefore, VH2/VL2 = ¼. How many times heavier is the heavy gas compared to the light gas? If the light gas was Ne, what would be a reasonable identity for the heavy gas?
What pressure, in atmospheres, is exerted on the body of a diver if she is 36 ft below the surface of the water when atmospheric pressure at the surface is 780
mm Hg ? Assume that the density of the water is 1.00 g/cm
1.00 x 10 kg/m. The gravitational constant is 9.81 m/s, and 1 Pa
1kg/m-s.
Express your answer using two significant figures.
The volume of a balloon (V) and the pressure on that balloon (P) are related by the equation: PV=4500 (Boyle's Law). At a particular moment in time, the pressure on the balloon is 20 psi (pounds per square inch) and is increasing at the rate of 2.4 psi/hour. At what rate is the volume (measured in in^3) changing at that time? Label your answer with the appropriate units)
