Variation of pressure

From the equation of pressure, pressure is directly proportional to the applied force.

it’s a lovely day and you decide to launch a giant helium balloon. Once filled, your balloon is a perfect sphere with a radius of 6.90 m. You consider having the balloon lift a crate of water balloons. What is the maximum weight the filled helium balloon can just lift (solve for the equilibrium condition where upward force equals downward force)? Assume that the membrane of the helium balloon has a mass of 920 kg (this does not include the mass of the helium within nor the mass of the crate). Neglect the buoyant force on the crate of water balloons. Density of He is 0.179 kg/m3. Density of air is 1.29 kg/m3. Volume of a sphere is 4/3 π r3. Weight is in N (not kg)
