Question

Transcribed Image Text:A helium balloon is used to lift a load of 110 N. The weight of the balloon's skin is 50 N and the volume of the
balloon when fully inflated is 32m³. The temperature of the air is 0°C and the atmospheric pressure is 1 atm.
The balloon is inflated with sufficient helium gas that the net force on the balloon and its load is 30 N. Neglect
changes of temperature with altitude. (a) How many moles of helium gas are contained in the balloon? (b) At
what altitude will the balloon be fully inflated? (c) Does the balloon ever reach the altitude at which it is fully
inflated? (d) If he answer to (c) is affirmative, what is the maximum altitude attained by the balloon?
