To determine whether your mass is more or less than 42 kg when measured on a weighing machine, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Mass and Weight**: - Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object, and it is constant regardless of location. Weight, on the other hand, is the force exerted by gravity on that mass and can vary based on the gravitational field strength. 2. **Using the Weighing Machine**: ...
