When you stand on one foot on a scale, the scale will only measure the weight that is being applied through that one foot. This means that the weight measured on the scale will be slightly less than when standing on both feet, but the difference is typically not significant for most people.

When standing on one foot on the scale does your weight increase or decrease or stay the same?

Your weight stays the same when you stand on one foot on the scale. The scale measures the force you exert on it due to gravity, so your weight will remain constant regardless of how you distribute your weight on the scale.

Why do scales read differently if you stand on one or two?

Scales read your weight by how much gravity pulls on your body. The scale can only measure the pull of gravity by how much the scale itself is compressed. When you have one foot off the scale, and since gravity pulls straight down, gravity will be pulling the off-scale foot down to the side of the scale, not directly on it. This makes the scale compress less, because gravity is pulling you from another point not directly above the scale.


If you are too big for one scale to read can you weigh with two putting one foot on one scale and the other foot on the other?

no you can not. There would be no way to tell how much weight was being read on both scales. You have to go out and buy a scale that has a higher weight allowance.

In jazz what is a kick ball change?

A kick ball change is quite a simple move and a little difficult to explain. You first obviously kick your foot then right when your foot comes down you balance your weight on the balls of your feet (the part of your feet you balance on when you stand on your toes) hence the name kick ball change.


Does a weight scale read force or pressure?

Force....pressure=force/area, so if you transferred to one foot on the scale it would read half your weight, but that is not the case because it reads force so on one foot the reading is the same
