Buoyancy Correction: Is Equation 1 Correct?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the validity of the equation mass = density(density - density) in relation to buoyancy correction. Participants express confusion over the equation's dimensional consistency, noting that it results in units of kg²/m⁶, which do not equate to mass. Clarification is sought on the meaning of density(density - density) and the context of the densities involved. The conversation highlights the distinction between mass and weight, particularly in the context of air correction. Ultimately, the consensus suggests that the original equation is incorrect and lacks proper dimensional analysis.

Is this equation correct?
equation 1: mass=density(density-density)
Im asking this because in air correction we have equation 2: mass=density(density-density)/density(density-density) -----here we get mass.But get we mass still in this case?:mass=density(density-density)
Because I was trying to derive this using a dimension principle,but it doesn t fit in equation 1,because:m=kg/m3*kg/m3 which is kg2/m6 and this doesn t equal to mass.
Please try to explain me this by using dimension principle as well.
Thanks

Mass = density * volume. Why would you ever multiply densities?
If you are considering an 'air correction', it sounds like you're confusing mass with weight.
 
Thanks,I just want to know if mass=density(density-density) is correct,because as I said,mass has kg unit and right side of equation has kg2m6,so I think,that it is impossible.But I just want to ensure...Am i right?
 
I don't understand what you mean by density(density-density). Do you really mean taking the difference of two densities and multiplying another density? That would be bizarre. Where are you getting that from? And what are these two or three densities the densities of?
 
That should be
buoyancy correction=(volume sample-volume standard)density atmosphere
 
Suppose ,instead of the usual x,y coordinate system with an I basis vector along the x -axis and a corresponding j basis vector along the y-axis we instead have a different pair of basis vectors ,call them e and f along their respective axes. I have seen that this is an important subject in maths My question is what physical applications does such a model apply to? I am asking here because I have devoted quite a lot of time in the past to understanding convectors and the dual...
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
