What will I learn?
This course teaches Archimedes’ principle via hands-on methods to calculate displaced volume, draft changes, payload capacities, and stability for floating structures like boats and docks. Handle material densities, error margins, produce detailed reports, establish safety buffers, and deliver straightforward guidance for owners to support informed, justified decisions.
