density
It registers the force it must exert to support you (this is equal to your scientific weight), then divides by the acceleration due to gravity (around 9.8 m/s2). Weight is equal to mass * acceleration due to gravity. Therefore, the number it shows is actually your mass. In common language, however, when people refer to their "weight," they are actually talking about their mass

What do you do to measure weight?
There is only one metric system. The units used for your weight would be Newtons.
When standing on bathroom scale are you measure in mass or density?
Scales either measure mass, or weight - but they are callibrated to show mass (for example, kilograms).
What tool is used to measure the pull of gravity acting on an object?
A bathroom scale does a very nice job.
What is the easiest experiment to measure gravitational field strength?
Place a 1-kilogram mass on a bathroom scale. Immerse the scale in the unknown gravitational field.
What do you use to measures force?
A spring scaleYou use a dynamometer to measure force.
How do you measure the force of gravity?
By far the easiest method is with the use of a scale. For example, when you stand on a bathroom scale, it displays the magnitude of both forces of gravity between you and the Earth.
