Hydrostatic weighing, also referred to as underwater weighing or hydrodensitometry,is a technique for measuring the relative density of an object. It is a direct application of Archimedes' principle, that the upward buoyant force that is exerted on a body immersed in a fluid, is equal to the weight of the fluid that the body displaces.
