Your friend wants to start a business giving hot-air balloon rides. The empty balloon, the basket and the occupants have a total maximum mass of 1000 kg. If the balloon itself has a diameter of 22.0 m when fully inflated with hot air. Estimate the required density of the hot air. (Take the density of air as 1.293 kg/m3. Neglect the buoyancy force on the basket and people). |
