Best Answer

You have to start with the fact that the human body is about 60% water.

Also the fact that 1 liter of water weighs 1 kilogram.

If weight is W, then (60%)W = 40 kg

Change percentage to decimal:

(0.6)W = 40

Solve for W:

W = 40/(0.6) = 66.7 kg (about 147 pounds)

How much would less would you weigh in water Example If you weighed 200 on land how much would you weigh in water?

you would weigh 200 lbs. in water as you would on land. Your body just moved the water out of the way, which explains displacement. Buoyancy is what makes you seem lighter though. Because you weigh more than the water that you displaced and because the the water that you moved has a weight too, your body would be forced up after moving the water out of the way. So it's not that you weigh less in the water if someone picks you up, they just have more help when lifting you.
