You find your mass to be 42 kg on a weighing machine is your mass more or less than 42 kg

In fact, a weighing machine is a sort of spring balance which measures the weight (and not the mass) of a body. When we stand on the weighing machine, our weight (which is due to gravitational attraction of the Earth) act vertically downwards. But the buoyancy due to air on our body acts vertically upwards. As a result of this, our apparent weight (true weight-buoyancy force) is less than the true weight. since the weighing machine measure the apparent weight, our true weight is more, i.e., more than 42 kg.

It measure Kg-force. Hint: weighing machine measures the amount of normal acts upon it. In ideal situation, when we stand on a weighing machine, our weight acts downwards due to gravity, while upthrust due to air acts upwards as we as a body displace the amount of air as we stand upon the weighing machine. This upward force is the buoyant force. As a result, the body gets pushed slightly upwards, causing the weighing machine to show a reading less than the actual value. Thus, the weighing machine measures our apparent weight, which is less than the true weight. The actual mass will be more ...
