The buoyancy force corresponds to the weight of the displaced water volume.
The amount of ballast is directly given by the dierence between buoyancy force and initial
weight
Considering dierent ballast types of various densities, provides many opportunities to adjust
the weight of the entire system, in order to obtain a oatable structure with predened draft.
