Problem 45PE

(a) Calculate the buoyant force on a 2.00-L helium balloon. (b) Given the mass of the rubber in the balloon is 1.50 g, what is the net vertical force on the balloon if it is let go? You can neglect the volume of the rubber.

ANSWER:

Solution 45PE

We are required to calculate the buoyant force on the balloon and the net vertical force on it.

Part a

Step 1 of 3

The volume of helium,

L

m3

The buoyant force on the balloon,

m3

m3kg/m3m/s2

N

N

Therefore, the buoyant force is 0.025 N.
