...this difference in weight is the weight of the water it displaces when immersed. In this way, we find the weight of a volume of water equal to the volume of the solid, and when this is compared with its weight in air, we have its density. Suppose the weight... | |

...water, the cube is in a state of equilibrium, because the pressure A is less than the pressure B by the weight of a volume of water equal to the volume of the cube. If W exceeds the weight of the water displaced, then A+W are greater than B, and the cube... | |

...mass of an object in water was explained in the last section (Fig. 57). This loss of weight equals the weight of a volume of water equal to the volume of the solid. We can therefore write : Weight of the solid in air Relat1ve dens1ty of sol1d = T — T... | |

...immerse the object in water and note the loss in weight. This loss in weight is evidently equal to the weight of a volume of water equal to the volume of the solid, the value of W in formula (1), Art. 67. Let W = the weight in air and W = the weight in... | |

...Or, if a ship is at rest in still water, the weight of the ship and all it contains must be equal to the weight of a volume of water equal to the volume of the part immersed. (In the case of a heavy body like a ship, the buoyancy of the air can be neglected.)... | |
