Question

A hot air balloon holds 1,592 cubic meters of helium. The density of helium is 0.1785 kilograms per cubic

Answer 1

Answer: 285.2 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The volume of helium in the balloon is $V=1592\ m^3$

The density of the helium is $\rho =0.1785\ kg/m^3$

Mass of the helium gas is given by the product of density and volume

$\Rightarrow M=\rho \cdot V\\\Rightarrow M=0.1785\times 1592\\\Rightarrow M=285.2\ kg$

Thus, the mass of gas is 285.2 kg
