Explain the following :
A balloon filled with hydrogen rises to a certain height and then stops rising further.

उत्तर १
The reason is that the density of air decreases with altitude. Therefore, as the balloon gradually goes up, the weight of the displaced air (i.e. uphrust) decreases. It keeps on rising as long as the upthrust exceeds its weight. When upthrust becomes equal to its weight, it stops rising.
उत्तर २
A balloon filled with hydrogen has low density than air so it rises over the air but as height increases density of air decreases and at a certain height the density of hydrogen in balloon and density of air become equal. And as there is no density difference there is no pressure difference also and hence balloon stops rising further.
