Situation: solid in a liquid with the density of the solid less than the density of the liquid
Parameters:
(1) density of solid
(2) density of the fluid
(3) volume of the solid
(4) volume of the liquid displaced by the solid, which is usually less than the volume of the solid
weight of object =
= (volume of solid) * (density of solid) =
= (volume of liquid displaced) * (density of the liquid)
volume of liquid displaced) / (volume of solid) =
= (density of solid) / (density of liquid)
volume of liquid displaced =
= (volume of solid) * (density of solid) / (density of liquid)
volume of solid exposed to view =
= (volume of solid) - (volume of liquid displaced =
= (volume of solid) * (1 - ((density of solid) / (density of liquid)))
