![SOLVED:(II) A hot-air balloon achieves its buoyant lift by heating the air inside the balloon, which makes it less dense than the air outside. Suppose the volume of a balloon is 1800 SOLVED:(II) A hot-air balloon achieves its buoyant lift by heating the air inside the balloon, which makes it less dense than the air outside.
