A spherical balloon has a radius of 7.15 m and is filled with helium. How large a cargo can it lift, assuming that the skin and structure of the balloon have a mass of 930 kg? Neglect the buoyant force on the cargo volume itself.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The mass of the spherical balloon's cargo can lift is 672.31 kg.

Step by step solution

01

Understanding Newton's second law

According to Newton's Second Law of Motion, the weight of a body is equal to the product of the body's mass and acceleration due to gravity. It can be expressed in terms of Newtons.

02

Identification of the given data

The radius of the spherical balloon is r = 7.15m.

The mass of the skin and structure of the balloon is mballoon = 930kg.

03

Determination of the mass of the cargo

Now, understand this question with the help of a diagram, as given below.


So, as you can see, four forces are acting on the spherical balloon.

Force in an upward direction tends to lift the balloon. It can be represented by,

F = 蟻 air.Vair .g

Here, g is the acceleration due to gravity, 蟻air is the density of air which can be taken as 1.225 kg/m3 (standard value), Vair and is the volume of the air displaced by the balloon, and it is equal to the volume of the balloon, i.e.,


Substitute the value of rballoon in the above formula.

\begin{aligned}{V_{{\rm{balloon}}}}=\frac{4}{3}\pi{\left( {7.15}\right)^3}\;{{\rm{m}}^3}\\{V_{{\rm{balloon}}}}=1531.11\;{{\rm{m}}^3}\end{aligned}

Substitute the values of 蟻 air, Vair ,g in the formula for F.

04

Determination of the mass of the cargo

The balloon experiences force due to the weight of the skin and structure of the balloon. It can be represented by Wballoon.

Wballoon= mballoon . g

Substitute the values in the above formula.


Force experienced by the balloon due to the weight of the helium gas filled in the balloon. It can be represented by WHe.

WHe = mHe . g

WHe = 蟻He.VHe . g

贬别谤别,蚁He is the density of the Helium gas, which can be taken as 0.1785kg/m3 (standard value), and VHe is the volume of Helium gas present inside the spherical balloon, equal to the balloon's volume, i.e., 1531.1m3.

Substitute the values of 蟻He, VHe, g in the formula for WHe.

\begin{aligned}{W_{{\rm{He}}}}=0.1785{{{\rm{kg}}}\mathord{\left/{\vphantom{{{\rm{kg}}}{{{\rm{m}}^3}}}}\right\{{{\rm{m}}^3}}}\times1531.11\;{{\rm{m}}^3}\times9.81\;{{\rm{m}}\mathord{\left/{\vphantom{{\rm{m}}{{{\rm{s}}^2}}}}\right\{{{\rm{s}}^2}}}\\{W_{{\rm{He}}}}=2681.1\;{{{\rm{kg}}\cdot{\rm{m}}}\mathord{\left/{\vphantom{{{\rm{kg}}\cdot{\rm{m}}}{{{\rm{s}}^2}}}}\right\{{{\rm{s}}^2}}}\\{W_{{\rm{He}}}}=2681.1\;{\rm{N}}\end{aligned}

Force experienced by the balloon due to the weight of the cargo attached to the balloon. It can be represented by WHe.

Wcargo = mcargo . g

Now, considering the spherical balloon in its equilibrium condition, we have,

\begin{aligned}F-{W_{{\rm{balloon}}}}-{W_{{\rm{He}}}}-{W_{{\rm{cargo}}}}=0\\{m_{{\rm{cargo}}}}\cdot g=F-{W_{{\rm{balloon}}}}-{W_{{\rm{He}}}}\end{aligned}

Substitute the values of all forces in the above formula.

\begin{aligned}{m_{cargo}}\cdot g=18399.73-9123.3-2681.1\;{\rm{N}}\\{m_{cargo}}=\frac{{6595.33\;{\rm{N}}}}{g}\\{m_{cargo}}=\frac{{6595.33\;{{{\rm{kg}}\cdot{\rm{m}}}\mathord{\left/{\vphantom{{{\rm{kg}}\cdot{\rm{m}}}{{{\rm{s}}^2}}}}\right\{{{\rm{s}}^2}}}}}{{9.81\;{{\rm{m}}\mathord{\left/{\vphantom{{\rm{m}}{{{\rm{s}}^2}}}}\right\{{{\rm{s}}^2}}}}}\\{m_{carg o}}=672.31\;{\rm{kg}}\end{aligned}

Hence, the mass of the spherical balloon's cargo can lift is 672.31 Kg.

You hold a piece of wood in one hand and a piece of iron in the other. Both pieces have the same volume, and you hold them fully under water at the same depth. At the moment you let go of them, which one experiences the greater buoyancy force?

(a) The piece of wood.

(b) The piece of iron.

(c) They experience the same buoyancy force.

(d) More information is needed.

(II) Poiseuille鈥檚 equation does not hold if the flow velocity is high enough that turbulence sets in. The onset of turbulence occurs when the Reynolds number, \(Re\) , exceeds approximately 2000. \(Re\) is defined as

\({\mathop{\rm Re}\nolimits} = \frac{{2\overline v r\rho }}{\eta }\)

where \(\overline v \) is the average speed of the fluid, \(\rho \) is its density, \(\eta \) is its viscosity, and \(r\) is the radius of the tube in which the fluid is flowing. (a) Determine if blood flow through the aorta is laminar or turbulent when the average speed of blood in the aorta \(\left( {{\bf{r = 0}}{\bf{.80}}\;{\bf{cm}}} \right)\) during the resting part of the heart鈥檚 cycle is about \({\bf{35}}\;{\bf{cm/s}}\). (b) During exercise, the blood-flow speed approximately doubles. Calculate the Reynolds number in this case, and determine if the flow is laminar or turbulent.

(II) A physician judges the health of a heart by measuring the pressure with which it pumps blood. If the physician mistakenly attaches the pressurized cuff around a standing patient鈥檚 calf (about 1 m below the heart) instead of the arm (Fig. 10鈥42), what error (in Pa) would be introduced in the heart鈥檚 blood pressure measurement?
