QUESTION:

A helium-filled balloon and a basketball have the same volume. Upon which is the buoyant force of the surrounding air greater? Discuss why the balloon is at the ceiling of a room whereas the basketball is on the floor.

ANSWER:

Step 1 of 2

Buoyant force is equal to the eight of the air displaced. Hence both the helium filled balloon and the basket ball will have the same buoyancy force acting on it due to the surrounding air.
