A balloon filled with helium gas floats in a big closed jar which is connected to an
evacuating pump. What will be your observation, if air from the jar is pumped out? Explain your answer
The balloon will sink.
The density of air in the jar decreases as the air is pumped out from the jar. Hence the upthrust on the balloon decreases. The balloon sinks as the weight of the balloon surpasses the upthrust acting on it
