A hot-air balloon consists of a basket hanging beneath a large envelope filled with hot air. A typical hot-air balloon has a total mass of 514 kg, including passengers in its basket, and holds 2.62 x 10 m of hot air in its envelope. If the ambient air density is 1.24 kg/m3, determine the density (in kg/m³) of hot air inside the envelope when the balloon is neutrally buoyant. Neglect the volume of air displaced by the basket and passengers.

A typical hot air balloon can carry 3–5 passengers in a wicker basket and has a total mass of m = 470 kg including passengers, not including the mass of air inside the balloon. The density of hot air inside the stationary balloon is ?hot = 0.960 kg/m3 and the density of the cooler outside air is ?cool = 1.22 kg/m3. Determine the volume of hot air required for the balloon to be in equilibrium so that it neither sinks nor rises in the air.
