Answer:

Original Weight = 48 N

Explanation:

When an object hanging from the roof of an elevator and the elevator moves upward with a certain acceleration say a, then the observe weight is always greater than the actual weight.

And when elevator moves downward direction with acceleration a, then the observe weight is always lesser than the actual weight.

Given data:

a = 2.45 m/s²

Balance reading = Tension = T = 60 N

As elevator moves upward,

So,

               T = m(g + a)

         60 N = m(9.81 + 2.45)

               m = 60/12.26

               m = 4.89 kg

This is the original mass of the hanging fish.

We know that

                Weight = W = mg

                                W = 4.89 × 9.81

                                W = 48 N

Explain why airplane pilots should know wind velocity and not just wind speed during a flight
Lapatulllka [165]
Air speed is how fast you are peddling over the ground, wind speed is how fast the wind is blowing above the ground.Depending on the correlation between the two with direction thrown the pilot knows what sort of resistance he is flying against.
