The mass of the helium can be calculated using the formula:

\[
\text{Mass} = \text{Volume} \times \text{Density}
\]

Given that the volume of helium is 2,000 cubic meters and the density of helium is 0.1765 kilograms per cubic meter, we can substitute these values into the formula:

\[
\text{Mass} = 2,000 \, \text{m}^3 \times 0.1765 \, \text{kg/m}^3 = 353 \, \text{kg}
\]

Therefore, the balloon contains:

353
