These forces compress a spring that is calibrated to show your weight, the support force and your weight have the magnitude.

∙ 13y agogravitational force is the attraction between two mass's so if you have amass of 75kg that will be the force of the attraction between you and the earth

The support force of your scale is the same as your weight, but in an upward direction. If that were not so, the scale would be deformed (dented in) under your weight.
How does the weight of water displaced compare to buoyant force?
They are equal.
How does the buoyant force on a fully submerged object compare with the weight of the water displaced?
The buoyant force on any object in water is equal to the weight of the displaced water, regardless of how much of the object is submerged.
How does the buoyant force of a fully submerged object compare with the weight of the water displaced?
The magnitude of both forces is the same.
Do bathroom scales measure mass or force?
weight It measures the magnitude of the gravitational force that attracts you toward the center of the Earth. It's not necessary to measure the magnitude of the force that attracts the Earth toward the center of you. Not only don't you care about that one, but we know that it's exactly the same as the first one.

How does the buoyant force that acts on a fish compare to the weight of the fish?
both forces are the same.
Why weight don't effect the motion under gravity?
weight is a measure of the force between two masses, bathroom scales are a good example, multiply your mass in kg * 9.81 = force in newtons, if you are in freefall you are weightless
How does the buoyant force on a fully submerged object compare with the weight of the water displaced?
The buoyant force on any object in water is equal to the weight of the displaced water, regardless of how much of the object is submerged.
How could you measure the force of gravity on the mass?
You could put the mass on a bathroom scale, weigh it, and then divide its weight by the acceleration of gravity.
How does the buoyant force of a fully submerged object compare with the weight of the water displaced?
The magnitude of both forces is the same.
What does your bathroom scale measure?
densityIt 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

When you weigh yourself are you actually reading the support force acting on you or are really reading your weight?
yes
