Question

Salt water has greater density than fresh water. A boat floats in both fresh water and in salt 12) water. Where is the buoyant force greater on the boat?

Answer 1

Answer:

in salt water

Explanation:

The buoyant force acting on a body depends on the volume of body immersed, density of liquid in which the body is immersed and acceleration due to gravity.

Buoyant force = Volume immersed x density of liquid x g

As the density of salt water is more than the fresh water so the buoyant force acting on the boat in salt water is more than the fresh water.
