Using a weighing machine, we actually measure our weight and from this, we infer about our mass. While measuring weight, the weight recorded is slightly less than the true weight on account of force of buoyancy due to air acting on us. As a result, the true weight and consequently, the true mass must be greater than 42 kg.
