|---|---|---|
| 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."
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?
Two objects labeled K and L have equal mass but densities \( 0.95D_o \) and \( D_o \), respectively. Each of these objects floats after being thrown into a deep swimming pool. Which is true about the buoyant forces acting on these objects?
The \( 70 \) \( \text{kg} \) student in the figure balances a \( 1200 \) \( \text{kg} \) elephant on a hydraulic lift. Assume that it is filled with oil, which is incompressible and has a density \( \rho = 900 \) \( \text{kg/m}^3 \). What is the diameter of the piston the student is standing on? Assume each piston has a cylindrical shape, i.e., a circular cross-sectional area. Note: The two pistons are at the same height. Also, the diameter of the wider piston is given in the figure to be \( 2.0 \) \( \text{m} \).
A cube of unknown material and uniform density floats in a container of water with \(60\%\) of its volume submerged. If this same cube were placed in a container of oil with density \(800\) \(\text{kg/m}^3\), what portion of the cube’s volume would be submerged while floating?
A sphere of mass \(0.5\) \(\text{kg}\) is dropped into a column of oil. At the instant the sphere becomes completely submerged in the oil, the sphere is moving downward at \(8\) \(\text{m/s}\), the buoyancy force on the sphere is \(4.0\) \(\text{N}\), and the fluid frictional force is \(4.0\) \(\text{N}\). Which of the following describes the motion of the sphere at this instant?
\(\boxed{693.23 \, \text{kg}}\)

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]
