Textbook Question
Chapter 3, Problem 82P
A balloon has a weight (including crew but not gas) of 2.2 kN and a gas-bag capacity of 566 m3. At the ground it is partially inflated with 445 N of helium. How high can this balloon rise in the U.S. Standard Atmosphere (Appendix A) if the helium always assumes the pressure and temperature of the atmosphere?
