Answer

$5.3KN$

Work Step by Step

We can find the required weight as follows: $F_b=\rho_{air}Vg$ $\implies F_b=\rho_{air}(\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3)g$ $F_b=(1.29)(\frac{4}{3}\pi(4.9)^3)(9.81)=6236N$ Now $W=F_b-m_{ballon}g-\rho_{He}V_{He}g$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $W=6236-(3.2)(9.81)-(0.179)(\frac{4}{3}\pi (4.9)^3)(9.81)=5.3KN$
