A spherical balloon has a radius of 6.95m and is filled with helium. The density of helium is 0.179 kg/m3, and the density of ai r is 1.29 kg/m3. The skin and structure of the balloon has a mass of 960kg . Neglect the buoyant force on the cargo volume itself. Determine the largest mass of cargo the balloon can lift.
Answer:
602.27 kg
Explanation:
The computation of the largest mass of cargo the balloon can lift is shown below:-
Volume of helium inside the ballon= (4 ÷ 3) × π × r^3
= (4 ÷ 3) × 3.14 × 6.953
= 1406.19 m3
Mass the balloon can carry = volume × (density of air-density of helium)
= 1406.19 × (1.29-0.179)
= 1562.27 kg
Mass of cargo it can carry = Mass it can carry – Mass of structure
= 1562.27 – 960
= 602.27 kg
Determine the largest mass of cargo the balloon can lift.
