Given the weight of the hot-air balloon to be 600 lb. If the heated air inside the balloon has a temperature of 160 °F while the air outside has a temperature of 85 °F, determine the required volume of the balloon to support the weight (in ft³). Assume the inside and outside air to be at standard atmospheric pressure of 14.7 psia. If the balloon had a spherical shape, what would be the required diameter (in ft)? *Use 1 decimal place on partial and final answers.
