How can I accurately weigh my head?

Is it possible to weigh your own head ?

  • while youre alive and its still attached to your body ?

  • Answer:

    First measure your weight 'W' with a normal weighing machine. Next take a cylindrical vertical drum much larger than your body and fill it up completely with water. Now, immerse your body carefully inside the drum only upto your neck, taking a friends help if necessary. Collect the water which spills out and measure its volume 'Vn'. Fill the drum again fully with water and this time immerse your body including the neck completely in the water for just a few seconds. Collect the water which spills out carefully and note its volume 'V'. Then the weight of the head = W x [V -Vn ] / V]

prob if u could hold the rest of your body in a certain position and just rest your head on the scales, but would u ever wanna weigh your head?

i know, chop your head off and put it on the scales, then get a really good friend (who happens to be a top class surgeon) to sew it back on. You might be a bit weird but then at least you know..... unless you lie down and put ure head on some scales but it wont be as accurate as cutting your head off. But if you want an answer either will be ok, if you are going to lie on scales at least you get an estimate, i'm going to try this now...

no, you get other weight that is supporting your body and your neck, it would not be an accurate reading at all

Sure. Just stand on a regular bathroom scale. Note the number that represents your total weight, and subtract everything from the neck down.

yep. just place your head in a measuring scales and get a friedn to read the weight... simple... or you could try doing a 'head-stand' on the scale.... which is just as good a method
