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 exactly does a bathroom scale measure?
A bathroom scale measures the force exerted by your body due to gravity. This force is converted into a weight measurement, typically in pounds or kilograms, which indicates your mass.
How do bathroom scales work to accurately measure weight?
Bathroom scales work by using a spring or strain gauge to measure the force exerted by an object placed on the scale. This force is then converted into a weight measurement that is displayed on the scale. The accuracy of the measurement depends on the precision of the components used in the scale.
