Question

[ELI5] if an object is hovering over base using magnets will the weight of the base increase? and how much?

In: 8

Answer 1

There will be and extra force that pressures on the base as well, it is not weight because weight is related to mass.

But because weight and that magnetic interaction are both forces then you can add them together in a bigger total force.
