A1_6 How many Balloons does it take to lift a House

Abstract

We look into whether or not a house can be lifted up by balloons, for both a model for the house used in the film “Up” and for a common house in the United Kingdom, and find that the number of balloons required to lift them are 9.53×10⁶ and 3.08×10⁸ balloons respectively. However, we also briefly look at the downfalls of such an idea in the real world.
