It will lift up when the cold air trapped inside warms up by the burner. Density of air inside the balloon is 99°C: 0.9486 kg/m³, density of air outside balloon is 20°C (ambient): 1.2041 kg/m³ Mass (kg) Balloon Basket Burner Propane tank 113.4 kg 63.5 kg 22.7 kg 183.7 kg Assume the balloon is a sphere shape, volume =(4/3)pi R3. a. Determine the minimum diameter of the balloon that would have a total lifting force to balance the weight of balloon, basket, burner, propane tank and 10 people? b. If the balloon is converted to survey the weather, it will be filled with hydrogen gas (H2). Assume the weight of the people (800kg) is now replaced by onboard equipment, what is minimum diameter needed to keep it afloat at 18km above the surface of the earth?

3. A cubic object (SG=0.893) with a side length of 10 cm is suspended between two liquids (fluid 1 and fluid 2). If the specific gravity of fluid 1 is 1.03 and the density of fluid 2 is 840 kg/m^3 which of the two fluids can be found at the top of the mixture and what percentage of the object is submerged in fluid 2?
If a scuba diver descends too quickly into the sea, the internal pressure on each eardrum remains at atmospheric pressure, while the external pressure increases due to the increased water depth. At sufficient depths, the difference between the external and internal pressures can rupture an eardrum. Eardrums can rupture when the pressure difference is as little as 35 kPa. What is the depth at which this pressure difference could occur? The density of seawater is 1025 kg/m3. 1)sketch (include everything in the system) 2)solution(step by step)
