Re: [Phys-L] apparent weight

I agree with David Bowman. I find that I weigh 1-2 pounds more after breakfast than I do when I first get up. However, for a person whose mass does not change during the day, I find that the person's apparent weight would be on the order of a tenth of a gram greater at noon than it would be at midnight. You can check my work here <http://youtu.be/l6RBVHGyRec> and here <http://www.anselm.edu/internet/physics/phys-l/apparentWeight.pdf>.

C) A much bigger effect on one's weight over the course of a day has to do
with the mass changes the person goes through during that day due to
eating, breathing, sweating, and other bodily functions.
