A light spring of constant k = 90.0 N/m is attached vertically to a table (Fig. P14.59a).

Question:

A light spring of constant k = 90.0 N/m is attached vertically to a table (Fig. P14.59a). A 2.00-g balloon is filled with helium (density = 0.180 kg/m3) to a volume of 5.00 m3 and is then connected to the spring, causing it to stretch as in Figure P14.59b. Determine the extension distance L when the balloon is in equilibrium.
