Hydrostatic Weighting
Hydrostatic weighting, abbreviated as \(\rho_b\), also called underwater weight, is how you can determine the average density of any object without nead for volume or measuring the mass per unit volume.
Hydrostatic weighting formula
\(\large{ \rho_b = \rho_w \; \frac { W_b } { W_b \;-\; W_{im} } }\) |
Where:
\(\large{ \rho_b }\) (Greek symbol rho) = density of body
\(\large{ \rho_w }\) (Greek symbol rho) = density of water
\(\large{ W_b }\) = weight of body
\(\large{ W_{im} }\) = weight of immersed body
