Estimate the magnitude of this buoyant force for a person

Reference no: EM13551319

When you weight weight yourself on a scale, the scale does not actually read your true weight, but rather your weight less the buoyant force of the air surrounding you. Estimate the magnitude of this buoyant force for a person whose true mass is 60.00Kg (human beings are mostly water, so their density is about 1g/cm^3 and the density of air is about 0.00129 g/cm^3). What would the reading on the scale be?
