Question

e) Answer the question  shown in the image 

A helium balloon is used to lift a load of 110 N. The weight of the balloon cover
is 50 N and its volume when fully inflated is 32 m³. The temperature of the
air is 0° C, and atmospheric pressure is 1 atm. The balloon is inflated with enough
helium gas so that the net force on it and its load is 30 N. Neglecting changes in
temperature with height. Also, the whole atmosphere has a uniform temperature of
0° C, and a molecular mass M = 28.8×103 kg / mol. (Pair = 1.293 kg / m³ and PHe
= 0.179 kg / m³).
E. Explain what should happen to the balloon when it begins to rise if the gas
temperature is kept constant and equal to the temperature of the atmosphere.
