Problem: 2 Mark
1. Thrust is a force or a push. When a system pushes or accelerates mass in one direction, there is a thrust (force) just as large in the opposite direction.
2. Let densities of air and hydrogen be ρair =1.14 and ρhydrogen =0.081 respectively.
Let volume of balloon V= 120 m3
Net force on it = Bouyant Force – Gravitational Force
= V ρairg - V ρhygrogeng
= V(ρair - ρhygrogen)g
= V(1.14-0.081)g
=120(1.14-0.081)(9.81)
=1246.6 N
This is the maximum weight that can be carried by balloon.
