Answer

$Mass\space of\space the\space balloon= 68.36\space kg$ $Mass\space of\space the\space basket= 7.23\space kg$

Work Step by Step

Please see the image first. Let's apply equation $F=ma$ to the balloon. $\uparrow F=ma$ Let's plug known values into this equation $688\space N-m_{1}g=m_{1}\times0.265\space m/s^{2}$ $688\space kgm/s^{2}= (0.265+9.8)m_{1}\space m/s^{2}$ $68.36\space kg=m_{1}$ Let's apply equation $F=ma$ to the basket. $\uparrow F=ma$ Let's plug known values into this equation $72.8\space N-m_{2}g=m_{2}\times0.265\space m/s^{2}$ $72.8\space kgm/s^{2}= (0.265+9.8)m_{2}\space m/s^{2}$ $7.23\space kg=m_{2}$ $Mass\space of\space the\space balloon= 68.36\space kg$ $Mass\space of\space the\space basket= 7.23\space kg$
