The formula to calculate the float weight (FW) is:
\[ FW = V \times D \times 9.81 \]
Where:
Float weight refers to the weight of an object when it is floating in a fluid. It is calculated based on the object's volume and density, and the acceleration due to gravity (9.81 m/s²).
For example, if the volume of the object (V) is 2 m³ and the density of the object (D) is 500 kg/m³, the float weight (FW) can be calculated as follows:
\[ FW = 2 \times 500 \times 9.81 = 9810 \text{ N} \]
So, the float weight for an object with a volume of 2 m³ and a density of 500 kg/m³ is 9810 N.
Definition: Float in project management is the amount of time that a task can be delayed without affecting the project deadline.
Formula: \( \text{Float} = \text{Late Start} - \text{Early Start} \)
Example: \( \text{Float} = 10 - 5 \)
Definition: Total float is the amount of time that a task can be delayed without delaying the project completion date.
Formula: \( \text{Total Float} = \text{Late Finish} - \text{Early Finish} \)
Example: \( \text{Total Float} = 15 - 10 \)
Definition: Free float is the amount of time that a task can be delayed without delaying the early start of any subsequent tasks.
Formula: \( \text{Free Float} = \text{Early Start of Next Task} - \text{Early Finish} \)
Example: \( \text{Free Float} = 12 - 10 \)
Definition: Free float is the amount of time that a task can be delayed without delaying the early start of any subsequent tasks.
Formula: \( \text{Free Float} = \text{Early Start of Next Task} - \text{Early Finish} \)
Example: \( \text{Free Float} = 8 - 6 \)
