A balloon filled with air is just floating in water in a beaker, as shown in fig. If the balloon is submerged more by a small distance and released, then the balloon will move up or move down to bottom or remains at the same location where released. Explain.

When the balloon is submerged more by a small distance, the pressure on the air in the balloon will increase, consequently the volume of the balloon will decrease, which inturn will decrease the buoyant force on balloon. Now the downward force (= weigth of air in balloon + downward thurst dueto liquid column) becomes more than the buoyant force on balloon. As a result of it, the balloon sink to the balloon sinks to the botton.

When a balloon filled with air released so that the air escapes, the balloon shoots off into the air. Explain would the same happen if the balloon were released in a vacuum?

A balloon filled with helium or hot air can float in the atmosphere. A balloon filled with air from your lungs falls to the ground when it is released. Why do these balloons behave differently?

(i) In the system shown in figure, find the time period of vertical oscillations of the block A. Both the blocks A and B have equal mass of m and the force constant of the ideal spring is k. Pulley and threads are massless (ii) In the arrangement shown in the figure the spring, string and the pulley are mass less. The force constant of the spring is k. A rope of mass per unit length equal to lamda (kg m^(-1)) hangs from the string as shown. In equilibrium a length L of the rope is in air and its bottom part lies in a heap on the floor. The rope is very thin and size of the heap is negligible though the heap contains a fairly long length of the rope. The rope is raised by a very small distance and released. Show that motion will be simple harmonic and calculate the time period. Assume that the hanging part of the rope does not experience any force from the heap or the floor (For example there is no impact force while the rope hits the floor while moving downward and there is no impulsive pull when the vertical part jerks a small element of heap into motion).

An expansible balloon filled with air is floating on the top surface of a lake, with 2//3 of its volume is submerged in water. How deep should it be sunk in water without changing the temperature of air in it, in order that it is just in equilibrium, neither sinking nor rising further? Height of water barometer = 10 m .

If a balloon filled with air and its mouth untied, is released with its mouth in the downward direction, it moves upwards . Why ?
