A Physics Student in a Hot Air Balloon Ascends Vertically

A physics student in a hot air balloon ascends vertically at constant speed. Consider the following four forces present in this situation:

11ec874b_21ea_ddf1_a44c_811fc40246c2_TB34225555_11 1= the weight of the hot air balloon
11ec874b_21ea_ddf1_a44c_811fc40246c2_TB34225555_11 3= the force of the student pulling on the earth
11ec874b_21ea_ddf1_a44c_811fc40246c2_TB34225555_11 2= the weight of the student
11ec874b_21ea_ddf1_a44c_811fc40246c2_TB34225555_11 4= the force of the hot air balloon pulling on the student
-Which one of the following relationships concerning the forces or their magnitudes is true?

A) F₄ > F₂
B) F₁ < F₂
C) F₄ > F₁
D) 11ea7e4c_68b8_b189_9a0a_0f35e7ea7840_TB3413_11 ₂ = - 11ea7e4c_68b8_b18a_9a0a_a16584e8acce_TB3413_11 ₄
E) 11ea7e4c_68b8_b18b_9a0a_ff61a2306150_TB3413_11 ₃ = - 11ea7e4c_68b8_d89c_9a0a_63c6d9cc8ee9_TB3413_11 ₄
