I would suggest you find something that weighs 244g, and take it to your local 'party supplies' shop.
They will invariably have lots of helium baloons there. Ask if you can see how many it takes to lift the weight off the ground (attaching a ring to said object would be wise). When you have this number, buy one less.
Then it'll fall to the ground very slowly indeed.
Or, do the maths based on the relative density of helium and air to work out the net boyancy of a helium balloon and then multiply up?They will invariably have lots of helium baloons there.

and I'm also up against a bunch of engineer/rocket scientists. We 'drop him off' on Friday morning so have until then to come up with something.
I shouldn't worry about that lot - by the time they have been through all the process documents, done the cost analysis and Systems have worked it all out to 20 decimal places it will be massively over budget and ready just before Easter! The Secs will win it hands down. Edited by tonyvid on Tuesday 16th November 09:04
