Suppose a rock's weight is measured as 10 newtons when suspended by a string in a vacuum with gravity acting on it. Suppose that, when the rock is lowered into the water, it displaces water of weight 3 newtons. The force it then exerts on the string from which it hangs would be 10 newtons minus the 3 newtons of buoyant force: 10 − 3 = 7 newtons.
Example 1: If a block of solid stone weighs 3 kilograms on dry land and 2 kilogram when immersed in a tub of water, then it has displaced 1 kilogram of water. Since 1 liter of water weighs 1 kilogram (at 4 °C), it follows that the volume of the block is 1 liter and the density (mass/volume) of the stone is 3 kilograms/liter.
R is the specific gas constant = 287.053 J/(kg K) T is the absolute temperature in kelvins = 288.15 K at sea level, g is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.806 65 m/s 2 at sea level, P is the pressure at a given point at elevation z in Pascals, and; P 0 is pressure at the reference point = 101,325 Pa at sea level.
is the height of the zero reference point of the pressure (m) is the hydrostatic pressure field (Pa) along x and y at the zero reference point; For water and other liquids, this integral can be simplified significantly for many practical applications, based on the following two assumptions.
q is the dynamic pressure in pascals (i.e., N/m 2, ρ (Greek letter rho) is the fluid mass density (e.g. in kg/m 3), and; u is the flow speed in m/s. It can be thought of as the fluid's kinetic energy per unit volume. For incompressible flow, the dynamic pressure of a fluid is the difference between its total pressure and static pressure.

"The majority of the adult body is water, up to 60% of your weight," says Schnoll-Sussman, adding that the average person's weight can fluctuate one to five pounds per day due to water.
If your scale says your weight went up overnight, you might wonder: Can you gain weight in one day? Experts give 11 reasons you seemed to gain weight overnight.
