A typical weather balloon is made of a thin latex envelope that takes very little force to stretch, so the pressure inside the balloon is approximately equal to atmospheric pressure. Suppose a weather balloon filled with 180 mol of helium is waiting for launch on a cold morning at a high-altitude station. The balloon warms in the sun, which raises the temperature of the gas from0°C to 30°C. As the balloon expands, how much work is done by the expanding gas?
