Find the minimum radius of a helium balloon that will lift her off the ground. the density of helium gas is 0.178 kg/m3, and the

density of air is 1.29 kg/m3. neglect the weight of the deflated balloon itself (but not the weight of the helium). assume that the shape of the balloon is a sphere. neglect the buoyant force of the air on the woman.

Volume of balloon = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3}

Where r is the radius of balloon.

Here mass of woman = 68 kg

Mass of air displaced by a balloon with volume V = 1.29*V

Mass of helium inside balloon = 0.178*V

Total mass to be lifted by balloon = 68 +0.178*V

Buoyant force = 1.29V-0.178V=1.112V

So we have 1.112 V =  68+ 0.178*V

   0.934 V = 68

     V = 72.81 m^3

    \frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3}[/tex]= 72.81

     r = 2.59 m

So radius of helium balloon = 2.59 m

Help me find the acceleration
ANEK [815]

a = 3.09 m/s²

<h3>Explanation</h3>

This question doesn't tell anything about how long it took for the car to go through 105 meters. As a result, the <em>timeless </em>suvat equation is likely what you need for this question.

In the <em>timeless</em> suvat equation,

a = \dfrac{v^2 - u^2}{2\; x}

where

  • a is the acceleration of the car;
  • v is the <em>final</em> velocity of the car;
  • u is the <em>initial</em> velocity of the car; and
  • x is the displacement of the car.

Note that <em>v</em> and <em>u</em> are velocities. Make sure that you include their signs in the calculation.

In this question,

  • a is the unknown;
  • v = -10.9 \; \text{m} \cdot \text{s}^{-2};
  • u = -27.7 \; \text{m} \cdot \text{s}^{-2}; and
  • x = - 105 \; \text{m}.

Apply the <em>timeless</em> suvat equation:

a = \dfrac{v^{2} - u^{2}}{2\; x}\\\phantom{a} = \dfrac{(-10.9)^{2} - (-27.7)^{2}}{2 \times (-105)}\\\phantom{a} = 3.09 \; \text{m} \cdot \text{s}^{-2}.

The value of a is greater than zero, which is reasonable. Velocity of the car is negative, meaning that the car is moving backward. The car now moves to the back at a slower speed. Effectively it accelerates to the front. Its acceleration shall thus be positive.

The block in the diagram below is AT REST. However, the tension in the cable is not the only thing holding the block back. Stati
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

The  tension in the rope is 229.37 N.

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the block is, m=33.2\ kg

Coefficient of static friction is, \mu = 0.214

Angle of inclination is, \theta = 31.5°

Draw a free body diagram of the block.

From the free body diagram, consider the forces in the vertical direction perpendicular to inclined plane.

Forces acting are mg\cos \theta and normal N. Now, there is no motion in the direction perpendicular to the inclined plane. So,

N=mg\cos \theta\\N=(33.2)(9.8)\cos (31.5)\\N=277.415\ N

Consider the direction along the inclined plane.

The forces acting along the plane are mg\sin \theta and frictional force, f, down the plane and tension, T, up the plane.

Now, as the block is at rest, so net force along the plane is also zero.

T=mg\sin \theta+f\\T=mg\sin \theta +\mu N\\T= (33.2)(9.8)(\sin (31.5)+(0.214\times 277.415)\\T= 170+59.37\\T=229.37\ N

Therefore, the  tension in the rope is 229.37 N.
