What is the ships displacement formula calculation?

The formula to calculate a ship's displacement is: Displacement = Weight of water displaced by the ship = Weight of the ship in air - Weight of the ship in water. This formula helps determine the volume of water that a ship displaces when it is floating in water.

How can I figure out the percentage of weight loss?

To figure out the percentage of weight loss, you can use the formula: (Initial weight - Current weight) / Initial weight x 100. This will give you the percentage of weight you have lost.


When do you need to find volume by displacement instead of by formula?

You need to find volume by displacement instead of by formula when the object is not a regular solid. It could be an object like a pen where the height, weight, and length can't be easily measured, or a liquid.


Formula for deadweight ton?

The deadweight of the ship is the result from the total displacement when loaded up to the summer freeboard mark minus the lightship displacement. The lightship displacement is the weight of the ship without any cargo, fuel, passengers, stores, mail, water and ballast.


What is the relationship between the weight of a viking boat and the water displacement?

How can a Ships light weight LWT be derived given the Displacement DWT and the gross tonnageGRT?

It can't. Gross tonnage is a measure of volume, while displacement is a measure of weight. The light ship displacement is equal to the total displacement minus the deadweight.


What is the product of mass and veloctiy?

Product of mass and displacement is not that much considered. But weight multiplied by displacement gives potential energy. Weight is got by multiplying mass by acceleration due to gravity


What is loss of weight in the Archimedes principle?

Displacement.


What happens when the water around objects have a force greater than the object's weight?

The water around floating object's is a measure of that object's "Displacement". For the object to float the weight of displacement must equal the object's weight. If the water around an object is of a greater weight than an object's displacement, then the object will sink.
