(a) draw a force diagram for the balloon. (b) calculate the buoyant force acting on the balloon. (c) find the net force on the balloon and determine whether the balloon will rise or fall after it is released. (d) what maximum additional mass can the balloon support in equilibrium? (e) what happens to the



Answer :

b) Buoyant force, Fb = 3822 N c) Net force on the balloon = 1.037 * 10³ N d) Additional mass of 105 kg can be supported by the balloon in equilibrium.

What is buoyant force?

The upward force a fluid exerts on an object is known as buoyant force. Archimedes' Principle is the fact that buoyant force is equal to the weight of displaced fluid.

Given mass, Mb= 226Kg , Volume of helium, v is 325 m^3

Density of helium,  0.179 kg/m3 ρh is and density of air,  ρa is  1.29 kg/m3

Force along the  y axis, ΣFy = o, at equilibrium.

ΣFy= Fb - Wh - Wb - mg= 0

ΣFy= FN - mg = 0

ΣFN = Fb - Wh - Wb

Fb is buoyant force

Here Wh is weight of helium and Wb is weight of balloon

ρa is density of air and ρh is density of helium

b) Fb = ρa v g

= 1.2 * 325 *9.8

Fb = 3822 N

c) Fh = ρh v g

=  0.179 * 325 * 9.8

= 570 N

Wb= Mb * g

= 226 * 9.8

= 2214.8 N

ΣFn= 3822- 570 - 2214.8

=  1037 N

Net force on the balloon = 1.037 * 10³ N

ΣFy = 1037 - mg= 0

m= 105 kg

Additional mass of 105 kg can be supported by the balloon in equilibrium.
