Question: [ Pressure & Force ] A kid buys a helium balloon. The volume of the balloon is 0 . 1 m 3 and the surface

[Pressure & Force] A kid buys a helium balloon. The volume of the balloon is 0.1m3 and
the surface area of the balloon is 0.25m2. While playing with the balloon, he released the
string and the balloon went up 100 m . The balloon changed in size and the surface area
became 0.4m2. Assume average constant density of air (=1.1kgm3). Take atmospheric
pressure on the ground to be 100kPa.g=9.81ms2. Find:
(a) Total force exerted by the balloon on helium at the ground level.
(25.00kN)
(b) Pressure of air inside the balloon at 100 m altitude.
(c) Total force exerted by helium on the balloon at 100 m altitude.
(24.73kN)
