My thoughts would be that you need to find the surface area of contact with the balloon, the coefficient of friction between the balloon and object, and finally the force with which the vacuum is pulling the balloon in. Then from there you would be able to calculate the force with which the object will be held, however those are my initial thoughts which I feel are far off from what you would actually need in order to calculate the force.
