Archimedes Principle Calculator

Apply Archimedes principle: upthrust equals weight of displaced fluid. Calculate apparent weight W_apparent = W_actual - F_buoyancy. Determine object density from weight in air and in water.

2D stress state at a point. All stresses in MPa.

σx — Normal Stress X (MPa)
σy — Normal Stress Y (MPa)
τxy — Shear Stress (MPa)
⚙ Mechanical Note: Results are based on standard textbook formulas and ISO/AASHTO references. Always verify critical designs with applicable codes (ISO 898, AASHTO 1993, AISC, Eurocode 3) and a qualified engineer.

How It Works

Apply Archimedes principle: upthrust equals weight of displaced fluid. Calculate apparent weight W_apparent = W_actual - F_buoyancy. Determine object density from weight in air and in water

Each component has a specific meaning:

  • Weight in air — The weight in air recorded for the patient or scenario being assessed.
  • In water — The in water recorded for the patient or scenario being assessed.

Note: Interpret the archimedes principle result against the clinical thresholds and context described above.

How to Use

Enter the weight in air, in water for the patient or scenario you are assessing. Apply Archimedes principle: upthrust equals weight of displaced fluid. Calculate apparent weight W_apparent = W_actual - F_buoyancy. Determine object density from weight in air and in water. Use the archimedes principle result to inform your clinical assessment.
