| Step | Derivation/Formula | Reasoning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | \(V = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^3\) | Calculate the volume of the balloon. The formula for the volume of a sphere is \(\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3\) where \(r\) is the radius. |
| 2 | \(V = \frac{4}{3}\pi (7.15)^3 \approx 1532.16 \, \text{m}^3\) | Substitute the given radius \(r = 7.15 \, \text{m}\) into the formula to find the volume \(V\). |
| 3 | \(\text{Buoyant force} = \rho_{\text{air}} \cdot V \cdot g\) | Calculate the buoyant force using the formula: buoyant force equals the product of the density of air, volume, and gravitational acceleration \(g = 9.81 \, \text{m/s}^2\). |
| 4 | \(\text{Buoyant force} = 1.24 \cdot 1532.16 \cdot 9.81 \approx 18632.06 \, \text{N}\) | Substitute the values: \(\rho_{\text{air}} = 1.24 \, \text{kg/m}^3\), \(V = 1532.16 \, \text{m}^3\), and \(g = 9.81 \, \text{m/s}^2\) into the buoyant force equation. |
| 5 | \(\text{Weight of helium} = \rho_{\text{He}} \cdot V \cdot g\) | Calculate the weight of the helium inside the balloon using the formula: weight equals the product of the density of helium, volume of the balloon, and gravitational acceleration. |
| 6 | \(\text{Weight of helium} = 0.18 \cdot 1532.16 \cdot 9.81 \approx 2706.65 \, \text{N}\) | Substitute the values: \(\rho_{\text{He}} = 0.18 \, \text{kg/m}^3\), \(V = 1532.16 \, \text{m}^3\), and \(g = 9.81 \, \text{m/s}^2\) into the weight of helium equation. |
| 7 | \(\text{Net lift} = \text{Buoyant force} – \text{Weight of helium} – \text{Weight of balloon skin and structure}\) | Calculate the net lifting force by subtracting the weight of the helium and the weight of the balloon skin and structure from the buoyant force. |
| 8 | \(\text{Weight of balloon} = 930 \cdot 9.81 \approx 9123.3 \, \text{N}\) | Calculate the weight of the balloon skin and structure using its mass and gravitational acceleration. |
| 9 | \(\text{Net lift} = 18632.06 – 2706.65 – 9123.3 \approx 6802.11 \, \text{N}\) | Subtract the weight of the helium and the weight of the balloon from the buoyant force to find the net lift force. |
| 10 | \(\text{Maximum cargo mass} = \frac{\text{Net lift}}{g}\) | Calculate the total cargo mass the balloon can lift using the net lift force and dividing by gravitational acceleration \(g\). |
| 11 | \(\text{Maximum cargo mass} = \frac{6802.11}{9.81} \approx 693.23 \, \text{kg}\) | Compute the cargo mass that the balloon is capable of lifting. |
| 12 | \(693.23 \, \text{kg}\) | Therefore, the maximum cargo mass the balloon can lift is \(\boxed{693.23 \, \text{kg}}\). |
Just ask: "Help me solve this problem."
A solid plastic cube with uniform density (side length = \(0.5\) \(\text{m}\)) of mass \(100\) \(\text{kg}\) is placed in a vat of fluid whose density is \(1200\) \(\text{kg/m}^3\). What fraction of the cube’s volume floats above the surface of the fluid?
The large piston in a hydraulic lift has a radius of \( 250 \) \( \text{cm}^2 \). What force must be applied to the small piston with a radius of \( 25 \) \( \text{cm}^2 \) in order to raise a car of mass \( 1500 \) \( \text{kg} \)?
Marc’ favorite ride at Busch Gardens is the Flying Umbrella, which is lifted by a hydraulic jack. The operator activates the ride by applying a force of \( 72 \) \( \text{N} \) to a \( 30 \)\( \text{cm}^2 \) cylindrical piston, which holds the \( 20,000 \)\( \text{N} \) ride off the ground. What is the area of the piston that holds the ride?
The difference in pressure between the atmosphere and the human lungs is \( 1.05 \times 10^5 \) \( \text{Pa} \). What is the longest straw you could use to draw up milk whose density is \( 1030 \) \( \text{kg/m}^3 \)?
In a carbonated drink dispenser, bubbles flow through a horizontal tube that gradually narrows in diameter. Assuming the change in height is negligible, which of the following best describes how the bubbles behave as they move from the wider section of the tube to the narrower section?
\(\boxed{693.23 \, \text{kg}}\)

General Metric Conversion Chart
Example of using unit analysis: Convert 5 kilometers to millimeters.
Start with the given measurement: [katex]\text{5 km}[/katex]
Use the conversion factors for kilometers to meters and meters to millimeters: [katex]\text{5 km} \times \frac{10^3 \, \text{m}}{1 \, \text{km}} \times \frac{10^3 \, \text{mm}}{1 \, \text{m}}[/katex]
Perform the multiplication: [katex]\text{5 km} \times \frac{10^3 \, \text{m}}{1 \, \text{km}} \times \frac{10^3 \, \text{mm}}{1 \, \text{m}} = 5 \times 10^3 \times 10^3 \, \text{mm}[/katex]
Simplify to get the final answer: [katex]\boxed{5 \times 10^6 \, \text{mm}}[/katex]
