A balloon of mass $M$ is descending at a constant acceleration $\alpha $. When a mass $m$ is released from the balloon it starts rising with the same acceleration $\alpha $. Assuming that its volume does not change, what is the value of $m$ ?

  • A

    $\left[ {\frac{\alpha }{{\alpha  + g}}} \right]M$

  • B

    $\left[ {\frac{2\alpha }{{\alpha  + g}}} \right]M$

  • C

    $\left[ {\frac{{\alpha  + g}}{\alpha }} \right]M$

  • D

    $\left[ {\frac{{\alpha  + g}}{2\alpha }} \right]M$
