Question

If an insect is inside of a container, but flying, is it adding weight to the container?

In: 133

Answer 1

Can I ask a follow up.If I make a small hole in the jar, I assume the weight of the container is still increased by the weight of the insect. If I make the hole so big, that the container is just a dish, then I assume the insect flying over the plate adds no weight.

So how big is the hole before this happens? Does it matter where the hole is? Is there an intermediate point where only part of the weight is added to the container?
