6 719 174.875 balloons or 6 719 175 balloons for a 100 000 lb house or
45 360 kg home.
This was for my grade 12 physics summative. Did pretty well ^^
The answer above adds in the string (7.2 x10^-4 kg for 100 m of fishing wire) , rubber balloon(0.0029 kg) and helium weight, as well as temperature of 20 degrees Celsius and altitude of 0 above sea level.
width and height of balloon is 0.13m and the length is 0.14 m.
I neglected wind resistance.
If you want to calculate it yourself in case your observations are different, read below. *** are the important equations.
*** Fb= (101325(1-2.5577E-5•h)^5.2588 / R•T)•(4/3rlrwrh)•(g) <---equation for the upward buoyancy force.
where:
h is the altitude above sea level
R is the the individual gas constant = 286.9 for air
T is temperature is kelvin = 293 degrees K
rl = radius of the length, rw is radius of the width, rh is radius of the height of the balloon
and g = 9.81 m/s^2 (the acceleration of gravity)
*** FH= [(101325(1-2.5577E-5•h)^5.2588 / R•T)•(4/3rlrwrh)+mrubber+mstring]•(g) <--- equation for the downward buoyancy force of the helium balloon
where
mrubber is mass of the rubber balloon
mstring is mass of the string used
R = individual gas constant = 2077 for helium
Fnet is the total force between the two equations. So Fb is positive (going up), FH is negative (going down)
therefore *** Fnet = Fb-FH
That answer is the TOTAL upward force of the helium balloons
For downward force of the object you're trying to lift is the weight.
simply, *** weight = mg
so that is the weight u need to lift in N and the upward Force of the helium balloons has to be equal or more than the weight.
SO the number of balloons needed to lift wtv it is you need to lift is equal to
*** W÷Fnet
note: my units are in kilograms! If you want to calculate in pounds, convert!
assuming that temperature is constant and that we're talking about regular party balloons (a "regular" 2-gram party balloon can hold ~ 16 grams of gas), you would need 6,156 baloons to hold your weight in equilibrium. you would need an amount greater than this to actually lift you (the more extra balloons, the faster the lift), and this is not accounting for the weight of the string. extrapolated from: http://malaysia.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=1005123102737
depends on the strength of the people and the weight of the car
It depends on how great the force is acting against the newtons.
At 25 degrees Celsius (77 Fahrenheit) and standard pressure (101.3 kPa) one pound of helium would fill 2768 Liters (731) Gallons It depends on how big you want to fill the balloons, the pressure of the balloons the temperature and a range of other things.
Because the air in the balloon make it float in the atmosphere.
10000000 helium balloons

To lift about 110 pounds it could take any where from 100 to 150 balloons to lift a person, a lawn chair, food, and many gallons of water. A man by the name of Kent Couch from Oregon demestrated this for us by flying from his home all the way to Idaho. I would'NT try this unless you have a parachute of some kind of device to help you have a better landing. The Balloons could be about the average party balloons (large ones) that are about 11in in diameter. Now remember this is very dangerous and could even be lethal.I hope this helped you.Thanks for looking--Tiana5701

Take the lift
well it depends how much the person weighs so do this take the persons weight and multiply it by five the divide it by how many inches the balloon is around then last but not least you add how much time it takes to blow up the balloon (this is because different heilium machines have different presure gages) and there is how many balloons it takes to lift a person off the ground wit regular party balloons
One ... if its big enough.
About 3.
Balloons; trees take in carbon dioxide.
It takes about 300 balloons to lift 200 pound manballoon filled with exactly 1 sq ft of helium yields about 28.2g (upward thrust)453.6 grams/Lb453.6(1Lb) /28.2= about 16 blnsSo to get one pound off of the ground it would take about 16 balloons16x200= 3200it would take 3200 balloons to lift a 200 lb person....Only hoover not continually rise on account of the uneven weight distribution and the temp differences in each balloon helium isn't as buoyant when cold, unless the temp is consistant. Wind is a factor; as well as the amount of static charge in the air

About one minute from brake release to lift off at maximum take off weight.
