Yes, you weigh less underwater because water exerts an upward buoyant force on your body, reducing the effective weight that you feel. This is known as buoyancy, and it is why objects feel lighter when submerged in water.

How much would someone weigh under water?

It depends on the density of the object that weighs one pound, and how much of it is under water. The object will weight 1lb - water density * object volume under water; If the object is on average is less dense the water (i.e. is buoyant), and is allowed to swim, its weight will be 0 because proportion of its volume under water will compensate gravity exactly.

Why fish weigh less in water than in air?

Fish weigh less in water because of buoyancy, which is the upward force exerted by a fluid that counteracts the weight of the object immersed in it. The water exerts an upward force on the fish that partially cancels out the downward force of gravity, making the fish weigh less in water than in air.

Does a human weigh less in water?
