    The document describes a scenario where a bird is initially standing inside a closed box resting on a scale. The bird then jumps into the air and flies around inside the box at a constant height. The question is whether the scale reading would increase, decrease, or remain the same while the bird is airborne compared to when it was standing on the floor.

    A bird is initially standing inside a closed

    box that is resting on a scale. The bird


    jumps into the air and begins flying around
    the box staying at a constant height.
    Assume that the scale can adjust
    A box of mass M is sitting at rest on an incline at instantaneously to any change in applied
    an angle of ! as shown above. Which of the force. While the bird is in the air inside the
    following is true: box, does the scale:
    1) Gravity and the normal force from the surface can keep
    the block stationary. 1) Increase its reading from when the bird is
    2) An additional force, which must point up along the standing on the floor?
    incline, is needed.
    3) An additional force, which must point vertically up, is 2) Decrease its reading from when the bird is
    needed. standing on the floor?
    4) An additional force which must point the to the right is
    needed. 3) Give the same reading as when the bird
    5) An additional force, which must have a component is standing on the floor?
    pointing to the right, is needed. 4) Not enough information given.
    6) An additional force is needed but it can be in any
    direction provided it is the correct magnitude.
    7) An additional force, whose magnitude and direction
    must both be specific values, is needed.

    A person is initially standing inside a


    closed box that is resting on a scale. The
    person jumps in the air. Assume that the
    scale can adjust instantaneously to any
    change in force applied to it. While the
    person is in the air inside the box, does the
    scale:

    1) Increase its reading from when the person


    is standing on the floor?
    2) Decrease its reading from when the
    person is standing on the floor?
    3) Give the same reading as when the person
    is standing on the floor?
    4) Not enough information given.
