Since we are working in one dimension (left right or East West), we don't need to worry about angles! It's just simply a matter of adding things up!

First list out all the forces and add negative (-ive) signs to each of the 'west' forces like this.

20 East + (-27 West) + ? = 10 East

so it's easy to see that 20 + (-27) = -7
So to get to 10 from -7 just do the sum to get 17.
Since 17 is not negative it must be in the direction of East.
So the answer is:
Magnitude = 17 N
Direction = toward the East

An empty rubber balloon has a mass of 12.5 g. The balloon is filled with helium at a density of 0.181 kg/m3. At this density the
Eduardwww [97]

Answer: 1.14 N

Explanation :

As any body submerged in a fluid, it receives an upward force equal to the weight of the fluid removed by the body, which can be expressed as follows:

Fb = δair . Vb . g = 1.29 kg/m3 . 4/3 π (0.294)3  m3. 9.8 m/s2

Fb = 1.34 N

In the downward direction, we have 2 external forces acting upon the balloon: gravity and the tension in the line, which sum must be equal to the buoyant force, as the balloon is at rest.

We can get the gravity force as follows:

Fg = (mb +mhe) g  

The mass of helium can be calculated as the product of the density of the helium times the volume of the balloon (assumed to be a perfect sphere), as follows:

MHe = δHe . 4/3 π (0.294)3 m3 = 0.019 kg

Fg = (0.012 kg + 0.019 kg) . 9.8 m/s2 = 0.2 N

Equating both sides of Newton´s 2nd Law in the vertical direction:

T + Fg = Fb

T = Fb – Fg = 1.34 N – 0.2 N = 1.14 N
