You find your mass to be 42 kg on a weighing machine. Is your mass more or less than 42 kg?
The weighing machine reads slightly less than the actual value. This is because of the upthrust of air acting on our body. Hence, the body gets pushed slightly upwards, causing the weighing machine to show a reading less than the actual value.

Illustrate the law of conservation of energy by discussing the energy changes which occur when we draw a pendulum bob to one side and allow it to oscillate. Why does the bob eventually come to rest? What happens to its energy eventually? Is it a violation of the law of conservation of energy?
