Draft alterations depend on water density

Good day

It happened that I forgot the formula for the calculation of vessel's draft at different water density, though I searched the Internet and found nothing in English. So I decided to translate the article, which I found in Russian.


When the vessel passes from one water basin to another, the salinity (seawater density) changes.  It's very useful to know the way vessel's draft will change. And for the determination of vessel's draft delta we will turn to physics.
