Aspherical balloon has a radius of 6.35 m and is filled with helium. the density of helium is 0.179 kg/m3, and the density of air is 1.29 kg/m3. the skin and structure of the balloon has a mass of 990 kg . neglect the buoyant force on the cargo volume itself. required determine the largest mass of cargo the balloon can lift.

201 kg.

Explanation:

There are two forces acting (both vertically) on the balloon and the cargo: gravity (downward) and the buoyant force (upward).

If we need that the balloon remain in the air, the buoyant force must be equal to the weight of the balloon and the cargo, as follows:

Fg = Fb

In order to get Fg, we must add the mass of the helium (expressed as a product of the density times the volumen of the balloon, assumed spherical), the mass of the skin and the structure of the balloon, and the mass of the cargo itself, as follows:

Fg = (δHe . 4/3 π r3 + mcargo + mstruct) g (1)

The buoyant force, is equal to the weight of the volumen of the air displaced by the balloon (which is equal to the volumen of the entire balloon as it is completely submerged in air) , which can be written as follows:

Fb = δ air . 4/3 π r3 g (2)

Simplyfing, replacing by the values of δHe, δair, r, and mstruct, and solving for mcargo, we finally get:

mcargo = (4/3 π (6.35m)3 (1.29 kg/m3 – 0.179 kg/m3)) – 990 kg

mcargo =  201 kg.

bacteria that live on the ocean floor are sustained by phytoplankton. phytoplankton, microscopic marine photosynthetic organisms, have a vastly significant role to play not only in the marine food web of which they’re part of, but also on a more global scale. despite their infinitely small size in comparison to other marine organisms, these tiny creatures occupy an immensely important ecological niche: they are the foundation of the marine food web, and as primary producers, play key roles in supporting all other organisms in the marine environment, as well as in the regulation of the earth’s climate through the sequestration of carbon, oxygen production, and other related processes. phytoplankton account for roughly half of all global primary productivity; therefore, their significance extends far beyond the marine environment alone. there is an intriguing sense of irony in the realization that these tiny living beings that often live out their existence unnoticed and undetected by the rest of the world, have such a far-reaching impact on the lives of virtually all other living organisms on the planet, particularly on those in the marine environment. the world that we have become accustomed to has been and is continuously shaped by the workings of these miniscule yet vital “plants of the sea”.

hope this !

the answer is the first electromagnet (a). this is because it has more coils around the ferromagnetic material. increasing the number of coils increases the surface area in which the metal interacts with the current in the coil. this enables more atoms in the metal to become aligned hence becoming more magnetized.
