Question

State whether given statement is True or False
You find your mass to be $42$kg on a weighing machine. Your actual mass is less than $42$kg.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

When you weigh your body, an upward buoyant force acts on your body due to the air (a fluid) present around you. As a result, the body gets pushed slightly upwards, causing the weighing machine to show a reading slightly less than the actual value.
