A spherical balloon has a radius of \(7.15\,\text{m}\) and is filled with helium. How large a cargo can it lift, assuming that the skin and structure of the balloon have a mass of \(930\,\text{kg}\)?
Take the density of helium and air to be \(0.18\,\text{kg/m}^3\) and \(1.24\,\text{kg/m}^3\), respectively.
