displacement
1. the weight of a fluid (such as water) displaced by a freely floating or submerged body (such as an offshore drilling rig). if the body floats, the displacement equals the weigh of the body. 2. replacement of one fluid by another in the pore space of a reservoir. For example, oil may be displaced by water.
The weight of water displaced by the immersed volume of a ship's hull, exactly equivalent to the weight of the whole ship.

[vector] A displacement is the shortest distance from the initial to the final position of a point P. Thus, it is the length of an imaginary straight path, typically distinct from the path actually travelled by P. A `displacement vector` represents the length and direction of that imaginary straight path. A position vector expresses the pos...
