Basic Terminology in Mechanics

The area of science and mathematics concerned the motion of the objects, the relation between the force matter, and motion if specified. Forces exerted over the objects result in displacements or changes in the position of an object concerning its environment. This branch of physics keeps its roots in Ancient Greece in the form of the scripts of Aristotle and Archimedes.

An airship of 100m3 in size is launched from sea level and it gradually attains height until it reaches the desired altitude. A manometer measuring the gage pressure of the inside filled Helium gas show a reading of 1.2 bar at the altitude of A meters from the ground. Manometer shows reading of 2 bar when it reaches to a height of B meters. Assume; Density of air at point A = 1.00 kg/m3 and at Point B= A = 0.80 kg/m3. You can also assume average density = 0.9 kg/m3 where required. Consider temperature inside the balloon = 10°C and negligible change in temperature during the process.
