In 1923, the United States Army (there was no U.S. Air Force at that time) set a record for in-flight refueling of airplanes. Us
ing two refueling planes, an Airco DH-4B biplane was able to remain in flight for 37 hours. During the flight, the refueling planes were able to air-transfer a total of 687 gallons of fuel to the plane in 9 refueling transfers. Assume that the refueling nozzle had a diameter of 1.45 inches and each refueling took 2.31 minutes to perform. Calculate the velocity of the fuel through the nozzle. Assume that the fuel filled the entire cross-sectional area of the nozzle..

Answer:
4515.49484 N
4329.10484 N
Explanation:
r = Radius of balloon = 4.4 m
m = Mass of balloon with instruments = 19 kg
g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²
Volume of balloon
The Buoyant force = Weight of the air displaced
The buoyant force acting on the balloon is 4515.49484 N
Net force on the balloon
The net force on the balloon is given by 4329.10484 N
As the balloon goes up the pressure outside reduces as the density of air decreases while the air pressure inside the balloon is high hence, the radius of the balloon tend to increase as it rises to higher altitude.
