A hot air balloon with a payload rises in the air. Assume that the balloon is spherical in shape with diameter of 11 . 7   m and the mass of the ballon and the payload (without the hot air inside) is 210   kg Temperature and pressure of outside air are 27 ° C and 1 atm = 10 5   N / m 2 , respectively. Molar mass of dry air is 30   g . The temperature of the hot air inside is close to [The gas
Options
- A27 ° C
- B52 ° C
- C105 ° C
- D171 ° C
Correct answer
C. 105 ° C
Step-by-step solution
Hot air balloon will rise in the atmosphere when upthrust of buoyant force is greater than weight of balloon and its payload. Upthrust = Weight of atmospheric air displaced by balloon So, upthrust ≥ weight of balloon and its payload ⇒ (Volume of air displaced × density of atmospheric air × Acceleration due to gravity) ≥ (Volume of air of inside balloon x density of air inside balloon × acceleration due to gravity) + (Weight of payload of balloon) ⇒ V · ρ o · g &
