The question should be: how do you weight a 747 without a scale of any sort?
(Answer later.)
Measure the area of each tire that is in contact with the ground. Sum these values.
Measure the air pressure in each tire. Sum these values.
Tot. Pressure (lbs/sq in.) X Tot. Area (sq. in.) = how much a 747 weighs.
I am impressed but the air in the tires is already under some pressure so don’t you need to calculate the difference in pressure between a tire that is not under any pressure with one that is under a 747? This difference dP*A = weight
i thought airplanes had tubeless tires.
my take on it:
utter a random value, asked if it is greater than what uttered, some people / baggage was added to it
and if less, they were removed..
corny, but gives the answer
If we are supposed to a weigh Boeing 747 without using a scale, i would put the aircraft in a ship in the water…. rather ocean or sea…. Dur to the weight of 747, the water level in the sea would increase. Now remove the aircraft. You can see the difference of water level in the sea (Although its minimal in a large ocean)…. we can derive the approximate weight of the boieng 747 bu multiplying the density of waterinto the amount of differnce between the water levels.
Another option that we can use is…. mark the increase in water level when the ship is loaded with 747. After removing it, again fill the ship with large stones or some material of a known weight… Keep on filling it until it reaches the marked the increase of water level. The amount of weight at that moment of time on the ship is equivalent to the weight of 747 aircraft.
Hope this works…!!!

Question was: how do you weight a 747 without a scale of any sort?
I would use ‘google’ to know the weight, it would be the fastest and why need a scale? (Boing’s web or other technical sites surely has it).
Now, again you may ask, how do I weight my own plane (different model maybe) without a scale?
I would read the manual or ask the builders :).

I think the question asked is , “How much does a 747 weigh?” . AND NOT the “methodology to weight a 747″.
as Kaisar aptly puts it , ask Google. but that’s surely gonna piss M$ ppl off , if u know what i mean
