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!

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)]=

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.

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)

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...

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

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