  • Size of a hydrogen spherical balloon for lifting a payload

    Given : Hydrogen temperature = 30°C = 303K Load lifting = 400Kg Atmospheric pressure = 1.00 bar Atmospheric Temperature = 27°C = 300K Solution: Mass of air displaced by balloon(ma) = Mass of balloon hydrogen gas (mb) + load lifted........

  • Emergency Management Political Implications

    It can be lifted to no more than 15,000 feet and its windscreen compartment is pressurized, which is where the radar that is used for surveillance is kept as well.

  • Physics - Buoyancy and Floatation

    The mass of the cargo that can be lifted = 30702/9.8 = 3133 kg. How large a cargo can lift is determined. A complete, neat and step-by-step solution is provided.

  • Thrust to weight ratio and Weight Problems

    Assuming the balloon is at sea level, standard atmospheric conditions, calculate the maximum weight that can be lifted by the balloon. Note: the molecular weight of air is 28.8 and that helium is 4.

  • Buoyancy and Archimedes' Principle

    The buoyant force on the load is not known, but can be assumed negligible; its volume is negligible compared to the volume of the 10 m radius balloon. Step by step calculations with explanation.

  • Balloon

    When deflated, the balloon has a mass of 0.25 kg. (Note: Only that part of the string above the floor contributes to the load being held up by the balloon.) First, you will need to find the mass of the displaced air.

  • Jack Screw Friction Force

    Given: Applied force (Fa) = 15 lbs Handle length (R) = 35 inches Load to be lifted (W) = 3 lbs Pitch (p) = 7/32 inches This problem can be solved using work and energy concept: Work done by applied force = work done to lift the load + work done

  • Latent Period and Muscle Twitch

    Such that the longer the latent period is, the faster will be the speed of conduction. Hence, to be able to lift a higher amount of load, a corresponding longer latent period is needed. The expert defines the latent period.

  • Keeping a derrick from tipping

    A Load having a mass of 9.2 metric tons is to be lifted by means of a contractor's derrick as shown in fig 5-10.
