Question 22
Open questionXE-BNAT2 marksNeeds review
A spherical balloon of diameter 15 m is supposed to lift a load of 3000 N. The lifting of load is achieved by heating the air inside the balloon. Assume, air to be an ideal gas and atmospheric pressure either outside or inside the balloon. The value of acceleration due to gravity is 9.81 m/s² and the values of temperature and density of atmospheric air are 15°C and 1.2 kg/m³, respectively. In order to lift the specified load, the air inside the balloon should be heated to a temperature (°C) of __________

A cylindrical tank of 0.8 m diameter is completely filled with water and its top surface is open to atmosphere as shown in the figure. Water is being discharged to the atmosphere from a circular hole of 15 mm diameter located at the bottom of the tank. The value of acceleration due to gravity is 9.81 m/s². How much time (in seconds) would be required for water level to drop from a height of 1 m to 0.5 m?
