A 5 kg bag of sand is poured into a funnel and allowed to flow out the bottom of the funnel and onto a scale that is 2.8 m below, where the sand collects. If it takes 11 seconds for all of the sand to flow out of the funnel, what does the scale read 8 seconds after the sand begins collecting? State your answer to the nearest 0.1 N. (Let g= 10 m/s2)
