Thebuoyancy of the atmosphere would keep the balloon aloft. The density ofthe Martian atmosphere is 0.0154 kg/m3 (although this varies with temperature).Suppose we construct these balloons of a thin but tough plastichaving a density such that each square meter has a mass of 5.00 g. Weinflate them with a very light gas whose mass we can ignore. (a) Whatshould be the radius and mass of these balloons so they just hoverabove the surface of Mars?

Would it go up or down? (c) If on Mars these balloons have fivetimes the radius found in part (a), how heavy an instrument packagecould they carry?arrow_forward
