A weather balloon is constructed of a flexible material such that the internal pressure of the balloon is always 10 kPa higher than the local atmospheric pressure. At sea level the diameter of the balloon is 1 m, and it is filled with helium. The balloon material, structure, and instruments have a mass of 100 g. This does not include the mass of the helium. As the balloon rises, it will expand. The temperature of the helium is always equal to the local atmospheric temperature, so it decreases as the balloon gains altitude. Calculate the maximum altitude of the balloon in a standard atmosphere.
