    A closed box weighing P is suspended from a spring balance. When a bird weighing W is placed inside, the balance reads W + P. If the bird flies around inside at a constant elevation without accelerating, the balance will still read W + P because the bird's weight is evenly distributed, with half its weight acting down and half acting up, canceling each other out.

    Problem 14. Structural Design “CE Board Exam Nov.

    1992″

    An airtight closed box of weight P is suspended from a spring balance. A bird of weight W is
    placed on the floor of the box, and the balance reads W + P. If the bird flies around in the box
    at a constant elevation without accelerating, what is the balance reading?

    Solution:

    F = P + W/2 + W/2

    F=P+W
