A balloon is filled with helium and pressurized to 135 kPa and 20◦C. The balloon material has a
mass of 85 g/m2.
a) Estimate the tension in the line.
b) Estimate the height in the standard atmosphere to which the balloon will rise if the mooring
line is cut
The attached picture shows a problem identical to this one except the diameter of the balloon is defined. The provided problem can be solved in terms of the balloon's diameter using the same procedure.
