Regarding the "bird in the plane" what would change if the plane were
filled with water and some fish. If a fish swims closer to the top of the
plane what does this do to the plane's mass? What if it then sits (do
fish sit?) higher in the plane? Is that the same as if a bird were
gliding (ie. not moving its wings) above the plane's floor?
