A typical American has a volume of around 0.07 cubic meters and a mass of 63 kg. We humans live "submerged" in the fluid called "air" which is attemtping to float us up into space. This obviously doesn't work, as the gravitational force is stronger, but it does weaken the force we feel slightly... If the air has a density of 1.2 kg/m^3, calculate our percieved weight in Newtons accounding for gravity pulling down and the bouyant force pushing us upwards.
