Float Weight Formula

The following two example problems outline the steps and information needed to calculate the Float Weight.

FW = V * D * 9.81

Variables:

• FW is the Float Weight (N)
• V is the object’s volume (m^3) 
• D is the object’s density (kg/m^3) 

How to Calculate Float Weight?

The following steps outline how to calculate the Float Weight.

1. First, determine the object’s volume (m^3). 
2. Next, determine the object’s density (kg/m^3). 
3. Next, gather the formula from above = FW = V * D * 9.81.
4. Finally, calculate the Float Weight.
5. After inserting the variables and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.

Example Problem : 

Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge.

object’s volume (kg) = 10

object’s density (kg/m^3) = 20

FW = V * D * 9.81 = ?
