Which prefix would be best to use when measuring your own mass?

The prefix "micro-" would be best to use when measuring your own mass, as it represents a small unit. Typically, mass is measured in kilograms or grams, and using a small unit like micrograms (ยตg) can be appropriate for precise measurements of personal mass.


What metric unit would be appropriate to measure your mass?

Kilograms (kg) are appropriate if you measure weight using the metric system. If using the English system of measurement, pounds (lbs) is acceptable. * * * * * No. A kilogram is a measure of mass, not of weight. The correct unit for measuring the weight of a person is a Newton. On the surface of the earth, a mass of 1 kg has a weight of approx 9.8 Newtons. Your weight would reduce to zero Newtons in outer space but your mass would remain unchanged. That's true but common use is "weight" to mean "mass", and you won't change that in a hurry. What matters is using the correct units when genuinely necessary. It's only recently, with the advent of the SI version of the metric system, that the distinction has raised its pedantic head; and then only in technical work, not common use including most trade. The English system in its own country uses Stones and Pounds to weigh a person, not just lb.; and bathroom scales are calibrated in these, with a concentric kg equivalent. 1 Stone = 14lb. 1kg = 2.2lb (approx)

Why is using the standard unit of a foot more practical than using your own foot as a unit of measure?

Peoples feet come in various sizes (just look in a shoe shop) and thus if we each measured foot lengths using our own feet we would all come up with different absolute lengths and nothing we wanted to do co-operatively would ever fit together.


What objects can be measured in meters?

How do you find the density of your own body?

To find the density of your body, you would need to measure your weight and volume. You can measure weight using a scale, and volume can be estimated by submerging yourself in water and measuring the displaced volume. Divide your weight by your volume to get your body density.
