So I have the mass, volume, and the density of the gas inside it...how do i work out the net force?

Is it to do with working out weight and then viscous drag?

hi pipjordan - you need to be clearer in defining the question, its a little difficult to guess what you're trying to do

that said balance all the forces, including:
- mass
- bouyancy
- viscous drag
