Best Answer

an object is like 3 to four pounds it dipends on what the object is

Its the force generated by gravity that attracts the earth and the object together.

Normally its measured in kilograms (force)

1 kgf = 9.80665 newtons (force)

It's the pull of gravity on an object. The more it weighs, the bigger the pull of gravity. Not to get confused with mass.


It is determined by the multiplying the volume of a sample (Length times width times height) by the density coefficient.

The force of gravity is what gives objects weight. If you weigh yourself on Earth and then on the moon, you would weigh less on the moon right? This is because the moon has a smaller gravitational pull.

What happens when the water around objects have a force greater than the object's weight?

The water around floating object's is a measure of that object's "Displacement". For the object to float the weight of displacement must equal the object's weight. If the water around an object is of a greater weight than an object's displacement, then the object will sink.
