Question

A balloon has a volume of 0.09 m3 below the surface of the water (density = 103 kg/m3) at a depth of 40 m. If the temperature remains constant, what is its volume in m3 when it is at the surface where the pressure is 1×105 N/m2?

Solution

Pressure of gas inside the balloon is same as the pressure of surrounding. Also gas inside the balloon obeys isothermal process, then

(P0 + ρgh) V1 = P0V2

  V2=1+103×10×40105×0.09=0.45 m3.
