The mass of a hot-air balloon and its cargo (not including the air inside) is 170 kg. the air outside is at 10.0°c and 101 kpa. the volume of the balloon is 530 m3. to what temperature must the air in the balloon be warmed before the balloon will lift off? (air density at 10.0°c is 1.244 kg/m3.)

108.37°C

Explanation:

P₁ = Initial pressure = 101 kPa

V₁ = Initial volume = 530 m³

T₁ = Initial temperature = 10°C = 10+273.15 =283.15 K

P₂ = Final pressure = 101 kPa (because it is open to atmosphere)

V₂ = Final volume = 530 m³

P₁V₁ = n₁RT₁

⇒101×530 = n₁RT₁

⇒53530 J = n₁RT₁

P₂V₂ = n₂RT₂

⇒53530 J = n₂RT₂

Dividing the first two equations we get

∴Temperature must the air in the balloon be warmed before the balloon will lift off is 381.25-273.15 = 108.37°C

a person with a mass of 106kg has a weight of 1060n

1/0.14nm = 10^10/1.4 a lot
