The weight of water displaced in a massless balloon is equal to the weight of the water that the balloon displaces. This is determined by the volume of water displaced and its density, as weight is determined by the mass of the water and the acceleration due to gravity.
Whatever the actual weight of the balloon is, if you just set it on the water, then it displaces an amount of water whose weight is equal to the balloon's weight, and then it sits there and stops displacing. Just like any other floating object. If you force the balloon completely underwater by 'helping' it with added force, then it displaces 1 liter of water, which weighs 9.8 newtons (2.205 pounds).
Here's one way that would work: 1. Weigh a bowl of water. 2. Hold the object underwater with a piece of wire or straw and mark the higher water level with a grease marker. 3. Fill the bowl to the line with more water and weigh it again.
The weight of water displaced is equal to the buoyant force acting on an object submerged in water. This principle is known as Archimedes' principle, which states that the buoyant force is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object.
The buoyant force acting on an object submerged in water is equal to the weight of the water displaced by the object. The volume of water displaced is directly proportional to the buoyant force, meaning that the greater the volume of water displaced, the greater the buoyant force acting on the object.
The buoyant force acting on the wood is equal to the weight of the water displaced by the wood. This is known as Archimedes' principle, which states that the buoyant force is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object.

No real object is massless. Even a balloon has the mass of the balloon plus the mass of the entrained gas.But if the buoyancy of the entrained gas (hydrogen, helium) allows the balloon to float away, then it will displace no water. Even so, it still has mass.
Probably the simplest way would be to fill a container having a known volume (say, a 5 gallon bucket) with water right to the top, weigh it, then push the balloon under the water. The water displaced by the balloon will spill out. (Your hand will displace water too, which screws things up, so use something like a stick to push the balloon all the way in.) Now take the balloon out of the water and weigh the bucket again. The difference between the earlier weight and the final weight is the weight of the water that the balloon displaced. The density of water is 1 gram per cubic centimeter (cc), so (to a very good approximation) the volume of air in your balloon in cc is the same as the weight of the displaced water in grams.
Bouyant force was described by Archimedes to be equal to the force due to gravity of the substance displaced by the object. So in the case of a balloon in water the bouyant force is equal to the force of weight of the water that the balloon displaces otherwise known as the (volume of the balloon)*(density of water)*gravity. Hope that helps

The buoyant force acting on the rock submerged in water is equal to the weight of the water displaced by the rock. This is known as Archimedes' principle, which states that the buoyant force on an object is equal to the weight of the fluid it displaces.
This statement is not correct. The weight of the water displaced by a body in it, is equal to the buoyancy force that the body will experience. In the case the body floats on the surface of water, the weight of the water displaced by the body is equal to the weight of the body.
Weight of ship = weight of (displaced) water.
