A low-altitude meteorological research balloon, temperature sensor, and radio transmitter together weigh 2.5 lb. When inflated with helium, the balloon is spherical with a diameter of 4 ft. The volume of the transmitter can be neglected when compared to the balloon’s size. The balloon is released from ground level and quickly reaches its terminal ascent velocity. Neglecting variations in the atmosphere’s density, how long does it take the balloon to reach an altitude of 1000 ft?
