Get density of various foam options

[smaria]

To avoid the boat filling with water, we will add various waterproof compartments or foam. As a first step, it would be interesting to see what density various types of foam have. We also need to come up with a method of sticking the foam into the boat so it doesn't float away (velcro?)

I can measure the blue foam that can be wire cut and the white very light packaging foam I got at the towing tank.

Blue foam that is typically wire cut with the machine downstairs: 3.5 * 10-5 g/mm^3 35 kg/ m^3

White foam blocks used for packaging: 2.4 * 10-5 g/mm^3 24 kg/m^3

For reference: Water: 1000 kg/m^3

Once we have the volume of our hull we can estimate how much weight we will gain from just filling the hull with foam
