Explain the following :
Toy balloons filled with hydrogen rise to the ceiling, but if they are filled with carbon dioxide, then they sink to the floor.

उत्तर
Density of hydrogen is much less than the density of carbon dioxide. When a balloon is filled with hydrogen, the weight of the air displaced by an inflated balloon (i.e. upthrust) becomes more than the weight of a gas filled balloon, and hence, it rises. In case of a balloon filled with carbon dioxide, weight of the balloon becomes more than the upthrust of the air, and hence, it sinks to the floor.
