    Buoyant Force of a ship and water

    I am more of a visual learner as to where what goes. Still confused, but i'll ask someone from my department at school. Thanks!

    Buoyant Force of a ship and water

    So if the density of Ps is greater then Pf, and not knowing by how much; how exactly would I set up the ratio? Also the ratio of Vs and Vf --> Would it be something like this? [(Pf)/(Ps)] [(Vf)/(Vs)]=

    Buoyant Force of a ship and water

    That they are proportional. I am still confused as to how from the Buoyant force equation we were able to come up with the result of Vf being greater then Vs.

    Buoyant Force of a ship and water

    Volume relates to depth below the surface in the equation (Pressure under water: P=ρ•g•h ; where ρ is the density of water m/V and h is the depth of water)

    Buoyant Force of a ship and water

    Homework Statement Consider a ship that is floating in fresh water. The bottom of the ship is a depth of (df) below the surface. If the same ship is floating in sea water, the bottom of the ship (ds) below the surface. Given that the density of sea water is greater than the density of fresh...

    Deriving Error Equations for Half-Life Calculations

    Homework Statement How to derive an error equation: t1/ 2 = ln 2/λ= 0.693/λ. Confused, and don't even know where to start. 2. The attempt at a solution σ(t1/2)= σ(ln2)/(ln2) + σ(λ)/λ

    Error equation for the balmer series

    So is the equation supposed to look like as follows: δλ=λ2(1/K)δR? I am so confused.
