Homework Statement
If from any He balloon (has some radius) is getaway some amount of gas, what will happen to its radius?
T and P is const. And under ideal gas conditions.
Relevant Equations
I will be glad if there is someone who can explain to me.
thanks beforehand.
I tried actually, but i don't think it's that easy.
Hello guys.
I really try to understand the problem, can you please help.

Welcome to the PF. :smile:

Per the PF rules, you need to show us your work before we can offer tutorial help.

What Relevant Equations do you think apply? What is the equation for the volume of a sphere as a function of radius? What is the Ideal Gas Law, and do you think you could apply it to this problem?

I'm having trouble parsing your post, but I think you're saying that you solved this problem already and don't need any more help on it, and that you'll be sure to post your work next time. Did I understand your post correctly? :smile:
