Answers:

* Disassemble the plane and load it onto a cargo ship. The ship will sink lower into the water with the plane on board than it was before. The change in freeboard will translate into a tonnage loaded. * Compact the plane into as tight a cube as possible. The volume of the cube multiplied by the density of the main component of the plane (e.g. aluminum) will provide a good estimate of the weight. * Toe the plane down a long runway at increasing speed. At the wind speed that the plane lifts off the back calculation of the engineering for the wings will tell you the "lift" provided. This will equal the weight

Why weight of free falling objects is zero?

The mass of an object is the same wherever the object is (even outer space), but its weight depends on how the mass is affected by gravity. So it's convenient to measure weight using scales. If the object was sitting on some scales as they were both falling to earth the scales would show zero because there would be no pressure from the object.


Would gravity not exist without weight?

Weight would not exist without gravity.


You weight yourself on your bathroom scale at home.would the same scale give the same measurement if you weighted yourself on a different planetexplain?

No. Weight depends on gravity so on a different planet the gravitational strength would be different. Even if you remained on earth your weight would increase measurably if you had eaten or drunk anything, if you moved to a lower altitude, if you moved away from the equator, if you weighed yourself on rain-soaked ground.


Can a wing suit fly as long and as far as a plane?

that is tecnicly impossible you would have to be in the exosphere without the moons gravitational pull and fly at a 25degree angle to fly as far as a plane


How do you calculate 1 lb gross weight from net weight?

You cannot do so directly without weighing the object and knowing the amount of product in the packaging. Gross weight refers to the amount of product plus the weight of the packaging. Net weight is the product without the packaging. Therefore the gross weight would depend on the type (and weight) of packaging plus the wight of the product contained.

Are digital weight scales the best weight scales to buy?

It's up to you. If you think digital weight scales work better or perform a better job, then I would buy it if I were you. Or you can stay old-school with a stand on weight.

What would happen if you were on a plane and had no weight to you?

If you were on a plane and had no weight to you you would float in the plane like there was no gravity, even though there is but if the plane was angled precisely you can float in the plane as if gravity was turned off. But this only lasts a few minutes as you come closer to land.

Why jet skis will not plane out of the water?

Without water, it's impossible for a jet ski to plane. There would be nothing to plane on.

How do you calculate the weight of an iron ball?

The most practical way to calculate this would be to simply weigh the ball, using weighing scales. If the ball is likely to roll off the scales, you can place it between objects to keep it in place. Then, subtract the weight of the objects from the total weight to find the weight of the iron ball.


If a plane is flying and 2000 birds are flying inside the plane does that add weight to the plane?

The birds would add weight to the plane whether they were sitting or flying inside. The force from a bird's wings would push down on the air inside the plane, which pushes down on the floor of the plane.This is based on another riddle about a truck full of pigeons crossing a rickety bridge. The truck would weight the same whether the pigeons were sitting or flying about in their cages. However, if the back or side of the truck is open, a small amount of energy would escape the system and the birds' full weight would appear to be less.
