Explanation:
Since the balloon is not accelerating means that the net force on the balloon is zero. This implies that the weight of balloon must be equal to the buoyant force on balloon.
Hence, the buoyant force equals the weight of air displaced by the balloon, also 20,000 N.
Weight of the air displaced = density of air × volume
The density of air at 1 atm pressure and 20º C is 1.2 kg/m³
the volume V = 20,000/(1.2×9.8) = 1700 m³
I’m not 100% sure but i think it’s A because if you divide the speed by the time you get 2 and also all the other answer choices don’t make any sense!
You are correct!
Happy to assist you!
