How do you calculate the water displaced by an object if you know the weight, length, width and height?

assuming that the object is solid, the water displaced is equal to the volume of the object submerged in water, of course depending on the material of the object or more specifically its unit weight


this means that some material are not completelt immersed in water therefore the volume displaced is equal only to the volume of the object immersed





its simple physics, two objects cannot occupy the same space at the same time (I'm quoting lex luthor of course)





according to achimedes: any body immersed in a fluid is acted upon by an unbalanced upward force called the 'bouyant force', which is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced





calculated as:





Bf = yf * Vo





Bf - bouyant force


yf - unit wieght of the fluid


Vo - volume of object immersed in water or volume of water displaced





to calculate the volume displaced just divide the unit weight of the object by the unit weight of water then multiply that to the volume of the object


in the case of water where the unit weight is equal to 1


displacement is much easier to compute right?





for example, if an object's unit weight is 0.5 then we can immediately say that the immersion of the object is only half of its volume


however, if the unit of an object is larger than the unit weight of water which is 1, for example 2


then immediately we know that the object is completely submerged and therefore the displaced water is equal to the volume of the object





whew ! that explanation took some of my strength !


my physics teacher could have been proud





enjoy your studies heh !How do you calculate the water displaced by an object if you know the weight, length, width and height?
All you need is it's weight x volume. This will be equal to the weight of the water displacedHow do you calculate the water displaced by an object if you know the weight, length, width and height?
subrtract the initial height from the final height.or you can put weight x (lenght x width x height).good luck on that =]
If the object is solid, it should displace an amount of water equal to its volume = L*w*h
