    Question For Mathematicians...

    Ok, here is the deal.

    I can buy an actual military weather balloon for $13 or or 2 or more for $12 each. Here are the specs of the balloon: 12 feet high and 36 feet around. It weighs 5 pounds empty. Now if I bought one and had it filled with helium and I wiegh 130 pounds would it lift me? Im not talking about like a thousand feet, just like 20 feet. If not how many would it take to get me airborne. Thanks to all you formulamaniacs in advance. How about you Thordic?
