It is not known who discovered weight also known as mass. Many people did however contribute to the concept of mass such as Isaac Newton.

No. He may have realized that weight is the effect of gravity pulling on an object, but he did not discover weight.

Who discovered the concept of weight?

Weight was invented by who?

Weight was not invented, it was discovered by Isaac Newton who NAMED it weight. Weight it the force of gravity pulling down on an object and being measured in Grams, Kilograms and more (metric) and in the USA, Ounces, Pounds and Tons (Customary) And yet I'm only 11.


Who discovered gravity How did do it?

I didn't know that Isaac Newton discovered gravity. I thought that he discovered Newtons. Those measures that measure the weight of items. Anyway the guy who discovered gravity, even though I don't know who he is, discovered it when he sitting under the apple tree and an apple fell down, so he investigated it. Answer: Isaac Newton discovered (identified) gravity with the apple falling from the tree.


What is the decrease in weight caused by the upward force of displaced fluid?

It is named after Archimedes of Syracuse, who first discovered this law. According to Archimedes' Principle, "any body fully or partially submerged in a fluid is buoyed up by a force equal to the weight of the fluid displaced." When a body is fully immersed the weight of fluid displaced is equal to the volume of the body times the density of the fluid. So this amount will be the reduction in apparent weight of the body. If the body is floating, its apparent weight is reduced to zero, so the weight of fluid displaced must equal the weight of the body. In this case only part of the volume of the body needs to be immersed to displace its weight in fluid, because the body has a lower density than the fluid.
