Method

Formula, when it applies, and when it does not

Calculate constant-density buoyant force, object weight, and their net-force difference.

FB = ρf·g·Vd; W = m·g; Fnet = FB − W

When

  • Constant user-entered fluid density
  • Standard gravitational acceleration

Don’t

  • This is constant-density displaced-volume force arithmetic only. It does not determine float or vessel stability, immersion equilibrium, free-surface effects, restoring moments, geometry, structural adequacy, material selection, pressure rating, installation conditions, safety, or approval.
