    The document provides calculations to determine the buoyancy of a parachute buoy used on the PETRA EXCELSIOR. It lists the diameter, length, plate thickness, densities of foam and steel, and number of plates used to construct the buoy. It then calculates the weight of the end plates, round plate, foam, and total weight. It finds the total buoyancy based on these dimensions and densities, then calculates the net buoyancy by subtracting the total weight from total buoyancy. Finally, it factors in the weight of wire used to tether the buoy and calculates the remaining reserve buoyancy.
