The problem involves a gas-filled balloon with a total weight of 1500N that rises at a constant speed of 10m/s. Participants are exploring the implications of constant speed on the forces acting on the balloon, particularly in relation to Newton's laws of motion.
The discussion is active, with participants considering the balance of forces acting on the balloon. Some have suggested that the net force is zero due to the constant speed, while others are exploring the concept of buoyant force as it relates to the weight of the balloon.
Participants are navigating assumptions about the forces involved, particularly the buoyant force that counteracts the weight of the balloon. There is an emphasis on understanding the implications of constant velocity in relation to net force and acceleration.

The total weight o a gas filled balloon is 1500N.THE BALLOON RAISES AT CONSTANT SPEED OF 10m/s.Calculate the resultant force acting on the balloon?

The Attempt at a Solution
VICKZZA said:as given that the speed is constant ,so there is no acceleration in the ballon.and according to Newton 2nd law,force acting on the object is directly proportional to mass of the objectand accelaration,now if we consider this, the net force will be equal to zero.
but i am still confused,am i right?
