4. A weather balloon is released from the ground and floats up into the atmosphere. When it was released it had a volume of 500L, the temperature was 27.5°C and the atmospheric pressure was noted to be 771 torr. At 50,000 feet altitude the temperature is recorded at -61°C and the presssure is 27.5 torr. What is the volume of the balloon at this altitude?
