Float Weight Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the float weight (FW) is:

$FW = V \times D \times 9.81$

Where:

$FW$ is the float weight (Newtons).
$V$ is the object's volume (m³).
$D$ is the object's density (kg/m³).

What is Float Weight?

Float weight refers to the weight of an object when it is floating in a fluid. It is calculated based on the object's volume and density, and the acceleration due to gravity (9.81 m/s²).

Example

For example, if the volume of the object (V) is 2 m³ and the density of the object (D) is 500 kg/m³, the float weight (FW) can be calculated as follows:

$FW = 2 \times 500 \times 9.81 = 9810 \text{ N}$

So, the float weight for an object with a volume of 2 m³ and a density of 500 kg/m³ is 9810 N.
