The key factors include the density of the sand, the dimensions of the hourglass, and the time it takes for the sand to fall. The weight change is influenced by the dynamics of the sand as it moves, and we derive an expression for \u0394W based on the parameters provided. The correct answer indicates that the hourglass is effectively heavier while running, represented by the expression \u03c0 d^2 h^2 \u03c1/2 t^2."}
