Detailed Solution

Diameter of balloon = 20 m Radius of balloon =202=10mVolume of balloon =43πr3=43×227(10m)3. =4190.47m3=4190.47×103LMass of displaced air = volume × density =4190.47×1.2=5028.57kgWeight of He gas in balloon can be calculated by applying the gas equation,PV=nRT=mM⋅RT or mHe=PVMHeRT = 1×4190.47×103×40.082×300. =681.377×103g=681.377kgTotal weight of gas and balloon =681.377+100=781.377kgPay load = Weight of air displaced - Weight of gas andballoon =5028.57−781.377=4247.193 kg.
