How can you calculate weight of object in water if original weight of object displaced and amount of water is given?

Here's one way that would work: 1. Weigh a bowl of water. 2. Hold the object underwater with a piece of wire or straw and mark the higher water level with a grease marker. 3. Fill the bowl to the line with more water and weigh it again.

What factor affects buoyancy?

Buoyancy depends only on the mass and displacement. A more massive (heavier) object tends to be less buoyant, whereas an object with a greater displacement of water tends to be more buoyant. A block of metal sinks, because it weighs more than water of the same volume. But if you were to forge that same block of metal into the shape of a hollow bowl, it would float. It's mass is the same (same amount of metal), but the shape of the bowl is such that it displaces much more water than a solid block. That is why ships made of steel can float - they displace enough water to remain buoyant. . If you were to push that metal bowl completely underwater, so that the water spills into the bowl and fills it completely, the bowl will sink, because once underwater, the bowl will displace exactly the same amount of water as the block of metal of the same mass. That is why ships sink when they take on water.
