2"Ø UHMWPE rope has a breaking strength of ~375000lbs weighs 94lbs per 100’ so about 4700lbs for 5000’
That said I have know idea if 2"Ø is the correct diameter rope to anchor one of these balloons.

If you’re adding two strand #2 AWG wire it’s about a half pound per foot so another 2500lbs which means the floating windmill has to support 7200 lbs in addition to the weight of itself.
