How to Evaluate Weight of Submerged Portion of Floating Body?

Weight of Submerged Portion of Floating Body evaluator uses Weight of Fluid Body = Density of Fluid*[g]*Submerged Volume to evaluate the Weight of Fluid Body, The Weight of Submerged Portion of Floating Body formula is defined as the product of density of fluid, gravitational acceleration and submerged volume. The upward buoyant force must be equal to the weight of the imaginary fluid body whose volume is equal to the volume of the solid body. The buoyant force acting on a body of uniform density immersed in a fluid is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the body, and it acts upward through the centroid of the displaced volume. For floating bodies, the weight of the entire body must be equal to the buoyant force, which is the weight of the fluid whose volume is equal to the volume of the submerged portion of the floating body. Weight of Fluid Body is denoted by W symbol.
