A helium balloon (in the shape of a sphere) has radius 7.10 m. For the density of air, please use 1.29 kg/m^3, and for Helium, use .179 kg/m^3 - Part A How much additional mass (payload) could this balloon lift? You should assume the balloon's skin, plus other parts of the balloon's structure have a total mass of 900 kg. Note however that this number does NOT yet include the mass of the helium filling the balloon, which you will need to account for! Express your answer using two significant figures. ▸ View Available Hint(s) m = for Part A for Part A undo for Part A redo for Part A reset for Part A keyboard shortcuts for Part A help for Part A Submit kg
Fluid Pressure
The term fluid pressure is coined as, the measurement of the force per unit area of a given surface of a closed container. It is a branch of physics that helps to study the properties of fluid under various conditions of force.
Gauge Pressure
Pressure is the physical force acting per unit area on a body; the applied force is perpendicular to the surface of the object per unit area. The air around us at sea level exerts a pressure (atmospheric pressure) of about 14.7 psi but this doesn’t seem to bother anyone as the bodily fluids are constantly pushing outwards with the same force but if one swims down into the ocean a few feet below the surface one can notice the difference, there is increased pressure on the eardrum, this is due to an increase in hydrostatic pressure.
