Question
I'am trying to find the buoyancy of a pipe 8'' diameter by  10' long it weighs 42 lbs. Is there any other factors we need.

Answer
I assume that you mean the resultant buoyant force, so the weight of the pipe can be used in calculation.

Of course you'll need to know the density of the liquid it is immersed in if it's not water.

Then I suppose there's nothing more.

Hope this helps.
