You are holding two balloons of the same shape and size. one is filled with helium, and the other is filled with ordinary air. On which balloon is the buoyant force greater?

Sagot :

Answer:

B (buoyant force) = weight of air displaced - weight of balloon

Both balloons will displace the same amount of air but the weight of the balloon filled with He is much less and will experience a greater buoyant force - actually if a balloon is filled with air its weight would be the same as the weight of the air displaced and there would be no buoyant force
