AI Thread Summary
To calculate the pushing force of helium against a one-kilogram mass, you need to determine the buoyant force, which is the upward force exerted by a fluid that opposes the weight of an object immersed in it. The buoyant force can be calculated using Archimedes' principle, which states that the force is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the helium. For helium, this force is approximately 5 Newtons for one kilogram of helium, which results in an acceleration of about 1 meter per second squared. Understanding these principles will provide the necessary indication of the force applied by helium. This information is crucial for applications involving lighter-than-air gases.

Hey,
I'm not very good in physics but i have something which seems like a basic question only i could not find the answer.
I'de like to know how to calculate the pushing force of helium towards one kilogram of mass (a vector to the opposite direction of gravity.). For example - one kilogram of helium will apply 5 Newtons against gravity vector. Or - for example -t he acceleration will be 1 meter/sec^2..
To conclude - anything hich will give me indication of how much force wwill it apply.
Thanks,
Gabriel

Hey Gabriel! :smile:

You're asking for the buoyant force … see eg http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lighter_than_air" :wink:

Thread 'Question about pressure of a liquid'

I am looking at pressure in liquids and I am testing my idea. The vertical tube is 100m, the contraption is filled with water. The vertical tube is very thin(maybe 1mm^2 cross section). The area of the base is ~100m^2. Will he top half be launched in the air if suddenly it cracked?- assuming its light enough. I want to test my idea that if I had a thin long ruber tube that I lifted up, then the pressure at "red lines" will be high and that the $force = pressure * area$ would be massive...

Thread 'Why is the 3 body problem unsolvable? And what will happen if someone solves it?'

I feel it should be solvable we just need to find a perfect pattern, and there will be a general pattern since the forces acting are based on a single function, so..... you can't actually say it is unsolvable right? Cause imaging 3 bodies actually existed somwhere in this universe then nature isn't gonna wait till we predict it! And yea I have checked in many places that tiny changes cause large changes so it becomes chaos........ but still I just can't accept that it is impossible to solve...
