Halliday, Resnick & Walker — Force and Motion–I: Problem 61
A hot-air balloon of mass \( M \) is descending vertically with downward acceleration of magnitude \( a \). How much mass (ballast) must be thrown out to give the balloon an upward acceleration of magnitude \( a \)? Assume that the upward force from the air (the lift) does not change because of the decrease in mass.
