Best Answer

Objects are normally weighed on scales. If you want to weigh an object while holding it away from your body, you can stand on the scale, holding the object away from your body, and then subtract your own weight from the total. The object has the same weight whether held close to or distant from your body.

What does the Archimedes principles state?

When an object is immersed in a liquid, the liquid exerts a buoyant force on the object which is equal to the weight of the liquid displaced by the object. This statement is known as Archimedes' Principle. When a solid body is immersed wholly or partially in a liquid, then there is same apparent loss in its weight. This loss in weight is equal to the weight of the liquid displaced by the body. the bouyant force of an object equal to the weight of the fluid that the object displaced .

What is gravity and mass?

Mass is the amount of matter a body has. Gravity is a pulling force that pulls the object towards the core of the body. The weight of a body depends on the mass; gravity causes weight. Weight is a downwards force towards the core of the body that produces a gravitational field (e.g. Earth). The relation between the mass, the weight and the gravitational field strength is: W = m.g - where W is the weight of the object, m is the mass of the object and g is the gravitational field strength of the body (it is roughly about 10N/kg on Earth)


Does an object with mass have weight?

Looking at the definition of Weight:Physics . the force that gravitation exerts upon a body, equalto the mass of the body times the local acceleration of gravity[dictionary.com]In the absence of gravity an object with mass does not have weight.
