So there's a balloon with an upward force of 1.3x106N. The initial accelaration when the balloon is released is 27ms-2. The total mass of the filled ballloon and its load is M.
Calculate the value of M.
I understand that you need to calculate the resultant force which is upward force-weight
so 1.3x106 - mg
The mark scheme says
ma = 1.3x106 - mg
27m = 1.3x106 - mg
Then they give an answer of M = 3.5x103kg.
I don't understand how they rearranged to get this answer. Thanks
