It will lift up when the cold air trapped inside warms up by the burner.

- (b) An experimental balloon filled with helium is equipped with meteorological instruments is released to the atmosphere from sea level. Measurement data was analysed to derive the linear temperature lapse rate up to high altitudes above sea level. The lapse rate was found to be equal to 0.0065 K/m. Estimate the altitude of the balloon above sea level when the atmospheric pressure is equal to 60 kPa. Atmospheric temperature and pressure at sea level may be assumed to be equal to 15°C and 101 kPa.
