Hmmm ....  It's supposed to be the density of water.

1000 kilos is 2204 pounds.   (This is from "Mearure for
Measure," a wonderful reference book.   Did you know
that a shot and a pony are the same thing?)

I'm trying to throw together a Visual Basic program
to calculate the effect of hydroplane deflection in
pounds.    I seem to have forgotten a lot of what I
once knew about Visual Basic ...  Let me get that
working again, and I'll get back to actually doing
something.
