Yes, these formulas are correct. The formulas are easily derived through the equation m = pV

"m" is the mass of the object.
V is what you have to calculate as the volume.
p is the density.

The website is simplifying this formula into situation specific equations which can be derived from common variables you might know.
 
It is common in many industries to come up with handy convenience calculations, such as these.
 
I picked up this problem from the Schaum's series book titled "College Mathematics" by Ayres/Schmidt. It is a solved problem in the book. But what surprised me was that the solution to this problem was given in one line without any explanation. I could, therefore, not understand how the given one-line solution was reached. The one-line solution in the book says: The equation is ##x \cos{\omega} +y \sin{\omega} - 5 = 0##, ##\omega## being the parameter. From my side, the only thing I could...
