Howdy,
I am looking to find the rate of ascent for a weather balloon filled with helium. My assumptions as of now are total payload weight=10lbs, total balloon weight=2lbs, total balloon volume(at launch)=150ft^3, balloon diameter(at launch)=6ft.
Also, how does the rate of ascent change with altitude?
And lastly, what is the peak altitude it will reach?
Any help will be greatly appreciated. :)
