Question
A balloon filled with hydrogen rises in air. Explain the reason.
Solution
Hydrogen's density and weight is less than that of air. A balloon filled with hydrogen rises to a certain height as it displaces more weight of air than the weight of balloon but as it rises higher density of air decreases and upthrust becomes less and ultimately upthrust becomes equal to the weight of balloon and balloon stops rising further.
