(a) Calculate the buoyant force on a 2.00-L helium balloon. (b) Given the mass of the rubber in the balloon is 1.75 g, what is the net vertical force on the balloon if it is let go? You can neglect the volume of the rubber.

Step 1
In this case, the fluid is air, and the helium balloon displaces 2.00 L of air. We can use the density of air at room temperature and pressure, which is approximately 1.2 kg/m^3, to find the mass of the displaced air: mass of displaced air = density of air x Show more…
