A balloon has a mass of 10 g in air, The air escapes from the balloon at a uniform rate with a velocity of 5 cm/s and the balloon shrinks completely in 2.5 sec. calculate the average force acting on the balloon.
$ F = { dp \over dt } = { d \over dt } (mv ) = \left( {dm \over dt } \right) . \nu $ $ { dm \over dt} = { 10 \over 2.5 } = 4gram /sec and \nu = 5 cm/s $
Force= vm/t = 5×10/2.5= 20
