Question

Pay load is defined as the difference between the mass of displaced air and the mass of the balloon. Calculate the pay load when a balloon of radius 10m, mass 100kg is filled with helium at 1.66 bar at 27oC( Density of air =1.2kgm−3 and R=0.83 bar dm3K−1mol−1).

Solution

The correct option is D 3811.12 Kg
Payload of the ballon = mass of the displaced air- mass of the ballon
Radius of the ballon, r=10m
Mass of the ballon, m=100kg
Therefore volume of the ballon =4.3nr3=4/3×22/7×(10)3=4190.5m3
Now volume of the displaced air =4190.5m3
Given :
Density of air =1.2kgm3
Therefore, the mass of the displaced air =4190.5×1.2=5028.6kg
Let w be the mass of helium gas filled into the ballon, then
PV=(w/m)RT
OR w=PVM/RT
=(1.66×4190.5×103×4)/(0.083×300)
=1117kg (approx)
Total mass of the balloon filled with He =1117+100=1217kg
Therefore payload of the balloon =5028.61217=3811.6kg
Hence,m the pay load of the balloon is 3811.6kg
Therefore, the correct option is B.
