Homework Statement
Why is helium balloon in accelerating car tilting forward?
Homework Equations
The example that I think that I understand - is simple pendulum in accelerating car - and everything there is clear - g(effective)=g-A (all of them are vectors).
The Attempt at a Solution
So, the difference from the pendulum is only presence of buoyant force that's making baloon to float. So why is it tilting forward?
P.S. This question is in section 'Mechanics in Noninertial Frames', I'm not sure if it should be placed in this forum, but not advanced... Maybe the problem is harder than I imagine? Or easier?... :)
