The buoyant force exerted on a body by air can be estimated using Archimedes' principle, which states that the buoyant force equals the weight of the displaced fluid. To calculate this force, multiply the volume of the body by the air density (Pair = 1.029 kg/m³) and the acceleration due to gravity (9.81 m/s²). The difference in weight between air and a vacuum is significant, as the weight in a vacuum will be greater due to the absence of buoyant force.

ironhawk316 said:Estimate the buoyant force exerted on your body by the air ( use Pair+1.029 kg/m^3). What would be the difference between your weight in the air and your weight in a vacuum?
How would I proceed with this? What Equation should I use?
