I would like to know how much the air in my Hot Air Balloon weighs.  If 
the 
average molecular weight of air is 29. how much does, say, 1 cu.ft of air 
weigh 
and how did you work this weight out?  Where can I find out how to work 
out the 
inertia of this weight of air or can you tell me how to do it.
