Step 1
Given that the density of the air inside the balloon is 0.9487 kg/m^3 and the volume of the balloon is 2245 m^3, we can calculate the mass of the air inside the balloon using the formula: mass = density * volume mass = 0.9487 kg/m^3 * 2245 m^3 mass = 2130.5915 kg Show more…

A hot-air balloon has a volume of $2435 \mathrm{~m}^{3}$. The balloon can lift a weight of $6194 \mathrm{~N}$ (including its own weight). The density of the air outside the balloon is $1.205 \mathrm{~kg} / \mathrm{m}^{3}$. What is the density of the hot air inside the balloon?
A hot air balloon plus cargo has a mass of 291 kg and a volume of 755 m3. The balloon is floating at a constant height of 6.25 m above the ground. The density of the outside air may be assumed to be 1.29 kg/m3. What is the density of the hot air in the balloon? kg/m3
