  2. Submerged specific gravity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Submerged_specific_gravity

    Submerged specific gravity is a dimensionless measure of an object's buoyancy when immersed in a fluid.It can be expressed in terms of the equation = where stands for "submerged specific gravity", is the density of the object, and is the density of the fluid.

  3. Archimedes' principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archimedes'_principle

    The weight of the object in the fluid is reduced, because of the force acting on it, which is called upthrust. In simple terms, the principle states that the buoyant force (F b) on an object is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object, or the density of the fluid multiplied by the submerged volume (V) times the gravity (g) [1] [3]

  4. Specific weight - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_weight

    γ w is the unit weight of water; G s is the specific gravity of the solid; e is the void ratio [3] Submerged unit weight The difference between the saturated unit weight and the unit weight of water. [4] It is often used in the calculation of the effective stress in a soil. The formula for submerged unit weight is: ′ = where

    Lightweight displacement – LWD – The weight or mass of the ship excluding cargo, fuel, ballast, stores, passengers, and crew, but with water in the boilers to steaming level. Loadline displacement – The weight or mass of the ship loaded to the load line or plimsoll mark. Deadweight tonnage (DWT) is a measure of how much weight a ship can ...

    This was done under the constraints of the Classical style, by building an industrial structure of 1,340 feet (410 m) in length parallel to the St. Marys River and facing the structure with masonry. The sandstone facing of the power station was chiseled out of blocks pulled from the Edison Sault Power Canal , the feeder canal that chutes water ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stefan_number

    The Stefan number [1] (St or Ste) is defined as the ratio of sensible heat to latent heat.It is given by the formula =, where c p is the specific heat, . c p is the specific heat of solid phase in the freezing process while c p is the specific heat of liquid phase in the melting process.
