I tryied but failed miserabely, i need to prove this formula!


Archimedes (Buoyant force)

Lets say that a rock is attatched to a string, the string has a tention of 5.0N out of the water, and has a tention of 3.2N submerged in water. Now to find the density of the rock, the formula used is:


p rock=(5.0/5.0-3.2)p water


To explain...

density of rock=(wt in air/ wt in air-wt in water)*density of water


Now i need to prove this formula, i would apreciate any help, thanks

Note:
(p=density)

What i know:
p=mv
Density of water is 1000kg/m^2

I tried many different ways but never got a definite answer

You can start by drawing the freebody diagram for the rock, and calculate the net force on the rock in and out of the water.
 
I know all that, i know the density of the rock and everything, i just need to prove the formula (show why it works)

Start from lost weight in water = buoyant force of water = ...
 
Hi, I had an exam and I completely messed up a problem. Especially one part which was necessary for the rest of the problem. Basically, I have a wormhole metric: $$(ds)^2 = -(dt)^2 + (dr)^2 + (r^2 + b^2)( (d\theta)^2 + sin^2 \theta (d\phi)^2 )$$ Where ##b=1## with an orbit only in the equatorial plane. We also know from the question that the orbit must satisfy this relationship: $$\varepsilon = \frac{1}{2} (\frac{dr}{d\tau})^2 + V_{eff}(r)$$ Ultimately, I was tasked to find the initial...
The value of H equals ## 10^{3}## in natural units, According to : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_units, ## t \sim 10^{-21} sec = 10^{21} Hz ##, and since ## \text{GeV} \sim 10^{24} \text{Hz } ##, ## GeV \sim 10^{24} \times 10^{-21} = 10^3 ## in natural units. So is this conversion correct? Also in the above formula, can I convert H to that natural units , since it’s a constant, while keeping k in Hz ?
