  2. Diving weighting system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diving_weighting_system

    However, the density of most such materials is significantly lower, so the dive weight needs to be of larger volume and therefore greater mass, to equal the negative buoyancy of the mass of lead it replaces. A lead weight of 1 kg would be replaced by an iron weight of 1 × (7.87/11.34) × ((11.34-1)/(7.87-1)) = 1.044 kg, a 4.4% additional load ...

  3. Specific weight - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_weight

    The specific weight, also known as the unit weight (symbol γ, the Greek letter gamma), is a volume-specific quantity defined as the weight W divided by the volume V of a material: = / Equivalently, it may also be formulated as the product of density, ρ, and gravity acceleration, g: = Its unit of measurement in the International System of Units (SI) is newton per cubic metre (N/m 3), with ...

  5. Displacement (ship) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Displacement_(ship)

    To calculate the weight of the displaced water, it is necessary to know its density. Seawater (1,025 kg/m 3 ) is more dense than fresh water (1,000 kg/m 3 ); [ 5 ] so a ship will ride higher in salt water than in fresh.

  6. Relative density - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relative_density

    A United States Navy Aviation boatswain's mate tests the specific gravity of JP-5 fuel. Relative density, also called specific gravity, [1] [2] is a dimensionless quantity defined as the ratio of the density (mass of a unit volume) of a substance to the density of a given reference material.

  7. Displacement (fluid) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Displacement_(fluid)

    The increase in weight is equal to the amount of liquid displaced by the object, which is the same as the volume of the suspended object times the density of the liquid. [ 1 ] The concept of Archimedes' principle is that an object immersed in a fluid is buoyed up by a force equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object. [ 2 ]

  8. Number density - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Number_density

    Using the number density as a function of spatial coordinates, the total number of objects N in the entire volume V can be calculated as = (,,), where dV = dx dy dz is a volume element. If each object possesses the same mass m 0 , the total mass m of all the objects in the volume V can be expressed as m = ∭ V m 0 n ( x , y , z ) d V ...

  9. Shot (pellet) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shot_(pellet)

    The size of the lead shot that is produced is determined by the diameter of the orifice used to drip the lead, ranging from approximately 0.018 inches (0.46 mm) for #9 lead shot to about 0.025 inches (0.64 mm) for #6 or #7.0 shot, while also depending on the specific lead alloy that is used.
