Calculate Apparent Weight





Formula

The formula to calculate Apparent Weight is:

\[ \text{Apparent Weight} = \text{True Weight} - (\text{Fluid Density} \times g \times \text{Volume Displaced}) \]

Where:

Apparent Weight Definition

Apparent weight is the effective weight of an object when it is submerged in a fluid. It is the true weight of the object minus the buoyant force exerted by the fluid.

Example Calculation

Let's consider an example:

Using the formula to calculate the Apparent Weight:

\[ \text{Apparent Weight} = 100 - (1000 \times 9.81 \times 0.01) \approx 90.19 \, \text{N} \]

This demonstrates that with a true weight of 100 N, a fluid density of 1000 kg/m³, and a displaced volume of 0.01 m³, the apparent weight would be approximately 90.19 N.
