Question

A playful astronaut takes a gas-filled balloon to planet Gyxry 5/2, where the gravitational acceleration is 5 times higher, and the mass density of the atmosphere is 1/3 times lower than on Earth. If the atmospheric pressure on that day happens to be the same as on Earth, the buoyant force (not the net force) on the balloon ...
will be the same as on Earth.
will be 3/5 times lower than on Earth.
will be 5/3 times higher than on Earth.
will be 1/15 times lower than on Earth.
will be 15 times higher than on Earth.
will be 1/3 times lower than on Earth.
cannot be determined without knowing the density of the gas in the balloon.
