Wouldn't mass stay the same and acceleration increase or am I mistaken?
The weight is 45 N, because the three chains hold the sign, and each contributes 15 N.
Notice that the mass would be the weight/acceleration of gravity, m = 45/9.8 kg. But they ask the weight (force, so Newtons)
Air pressure is the weight of air on an area. The weight of air
is due to the gravitational forces between the Earth and the
molecules of its atmosphere.
B. kinetic energy increases and potential energy decreases
