The resultant force acting on the balloon is 10,400 N.
Resultant force acting on the balloon
The resultant force acting on the balloon is calculated by applying Newton's second law of motion as follows;
F = ma
where;
- m is mass
- a is acceleration
Mass of the helium gas = density x volume
= 0.18 x 3000
= 540 kg
Total mass of the balloon = 500 kg + 540 kg = 1,040 kg
Resultant force = mg
Resultant force = 1040 x 10 = 10,400 N
