3.) A spherical ballon is filled with helium gas at 20degC. Investigate the effect of the ballon diameter on the mass of helium contained in a spherical ballon for the pressures (P) of (a)100 kPa and (b)200 kPa . Let the diameter vary from 5 m to 15 m in steps of 1 m . Plot the mass of helium against the diameter for both the cases. Comment on the plot. Keep the units of all the parameters in SI.
To compute mass (m) of the helium gas in the ballon, you may use the following equation based on the ideal gas law:
In the above equation:
m=PVRHeT
m= Mass of the helium gas in kg .
P= Pressure of helium gas in the ballon in Pa
V= Volume of the spherical ballon in m3
RHe= Specific gas constant for helium =2077Jkg.K
T= Temperature in K
(Done in Excel)
