Here I am, trying to find volume and density of a 122.5 kg (mass) man.
Converted to newtons (a measure of force), his weight is 1200.5 newtons (f=m*a).
Then he is submerged, over his head, and weighed. The water is 30 degrees, Celsius, with a specific gravity of 0.996. His weight in newtons when submerged is 44.
Density = Mass/Volume
Specific Gravity = density/(reference density)
The mans mass is static. No one is removing his arms in order to make him fit into the container of water. My chief concern is that I'm somehow messing up his weight in newtons (1200.5), since this is my own calculation.
Writing this has helped me straighten out my thoughts, but it hasn't led me closer to a resolution. Dang it.

This sounds a lot like those calculus problems you had to do last year. Not that I remember how to solve them.
