4. Determine the stable (i.e. no net force) altitude (according to 1976 standard atmosphere) of a hot air balloon (diameter of 25m, weight of 600 kg) as a function of gas temperature inside the balloon. What is the absolute maximum altitude the balloon could theoretically reach? What does this altitude represent? 4.
