The envelope and basket of a hot-air balloon have a combined weight of 2.36 kN, and the envelope has a capacity (volume) of 2.29 x 103 m3. When it is fully inflated, what should be the temperature of the enclosed air to give the balloon a lifting capacity (force) of 2.64 kN (in addition to the balloon's weight)? Assume that the surrounding air, at 20.0°C, has a weight per unit volume of 11.9 N/m3 and a molecular mass of 0.0280 kg/mole, and is at a pressure of 1.00 atm.

We consider a hot-air balloon of mass 263 kg (basket and envelope). The spherical envelope of the balloon has a diameter of 17 m when fully inflated. To what temperature (in °C) must the enclosed air be heated for the balloon to carry five standard men? Assume the surrounding air is at 20°C and is treated as an ideal gas. Use 29 g/mol for the molar mass of air. (Assume the mass of each standard man is 70 kg.)

Challenge problem. (extra credit) Consider a hot-air balloon. The deflated balloon, gondola, and two passengers have a combined mass of 315 kg. When inflated, the balloon contains 912 m3 of hot air. Find the temperature (?C) of the hot air required to lift the balloon off the ground. The air outside the balloon has a temperature of 20.2?C and a pressure of 0.916 × 10^5 Pa. The pressure of the hot air inside the balloon is the same as the...
