Answer:
v = 1.076 m /s
Explanation:
Initial volume of balloon = 4/3 x  3.14 x (9.905/2)³
=508.56 m³
Final volume of balloon = 4/3 x 3.14 x (16.502/2)³
= 2351.73 m³
Increase in volume = 1843.17 m³
Cross sectional area of inlet  A  = 3.14 x( 1.458/2)²
A = 1.6687 m²
Volume rate of flow of air = cross sectional area x velocity of inflow
= 1 .6687 V [ V is velocity of inflow ]
Total time taken = Increase in volume / rate of flow of air
17.108 X 60 = 1843.17 / 1.6687 V
V = [tex]\frac{1843.17}{1.6687\times17.108\times60}[/tex]
v = 1.076 m /s
