1. Imagine a big box of mass M sitting on a scale. From the ceiling of the box hangs a load of bricks of

mass m. The scale reads a total weight Wo. All of a sudden, the rope from which the bricks are hang-

ing snaps, and the bricks start falling down inside the box. As the bricks fall down (but before they hit the

bottom of the box), will the weight shown by the scale be larger than, smaller than, or equal to the weight Wo?
