The discussion revolves around calculating specific volume in a context involving a stone submerged in water. Participants are trying to clarify whether to use the volume of the stone or the volume of water displaced in their calculations.
Multiple interpretations of the problem are being explored, with some participants suggesting different formulas based on the weight of the material and the volume displaced. Guidance has been offered regarding the definitions of specific weight and specific volume, but no consensus has been reached.
There is uncertainty regarding the values to use in calculations, specifically whether to divide by (25 / 9.81) or (20 / 9.81), as well as the lack of a definitive answer provided by the original question's author.

So , specific volume = volume displaced / (25 / 9.81) or volume displaced / (20 / 9.81) ?drvrm said:
which one is correct ? volume displaced / (25 / 9.81) or volume displaced / (20 / 9.81) ?drvrm said:
so, it should be volume displaced / (25 / 9.81) ??drvrm said:
by the above definition it should befoo9008 said:
