You would feel lighter since your body pushes aside a certain volume of water. Weigh this water and this value is taken from you weight whilst floating in water giving you an upthrust. This is Archimedes Principle.

How many grams is 1.5 liter?

1 milliliter of water weighs 1 gram. Since 1.5 liters is 1500 milliters, it would weigh 1500 grams. However, this is only true of water. A liquid that is heavier than water (like maple syrup) would weigh more. A liquid that is lighter thn water (like alcohol) would weigh less.

Is ice heavier than water?

Ice is lighter than water. That is why it floats on water.The term "lighter" is confusing here. A pound of water will still freeze into a pound of ice. However, the the pound of ice is less dense than the pound of water, so it floats. This gives the impression that a pound of ice is lighter than a pound of water. Well really, it depends on the quantity of both ice and water. However lets say if you had 1 kilogram of ice and 1 kilogram of water. The ice would weigh more because the particles are pulled together more and they're no longer liquid (physically) and the ice would be bigger and heavier (obviously) .


Is a bucket of snow is heavier or a bucket of water?

A bucket of water is heavier than a bucket of snow when both are of the same size. This is because water is denser than snow; snow contains a significant amount of air, which makes it lighter. Thus, even a full bucket of snow will weigh less than a full bucket of water.


How do you find the right pumpkin on great pumpkin poptropica?

Weigh 2 pumpkins, starting on the left. The lighter one will go up, the heavier will go down. Take the lighter one off and replace it with the third one, and after each successive weighing, keep the heavier one on the scale. You have to weigh all 7.


How much would less would you weigh in water Example If you weighed 200 on land how much would you weigh in water?

you would weigh 200 lbs. in water as you would on land. Your body just moved the water out of the way, which explains displacement. Buoyancy is what makes you seem lighter though. Because you weigh more than the water that you displaced and because the the water that you moved has a weight too, your body would be forced up after moving the water out of the way. So it's not that you weigh less in the water if someone picks you up, they just have more help when lifting you.


Does cooking oil and water weigh the same?

Why do you seem to weigh more in air than you do on water?

When you weigh yourself in water, some of your body's weight is supported by the buoyant force of the water, making you feel lighter. In air, there is no buoyant force to counteract your weight, so you feel heavier. This difference in perceived weight is due to the density and buoyancy of the medium in which you are weighing yourself.
