Question

A ship dips to a larger depth in fresh water as compared to marine water why does it happen

Answer 1

The ship sinking level in the water is heavily dependent on the physical characteristics of a particular water body.

The higher water density means lower sinking level of the ship.

The marine water is more dense than the fresh water because of the presence of salt substances in the marine water.

That's why ships sink deeper in the freshwater than the marine water.

Answer 2

Answer:

• The above statement a ship dips to a larger depth in fresh water as compared to marine water happens due to the phenomenon of buoyant force.
• This happens due to the lower salt concentration present in the fresh water than compared to the marine Water in general.
• The principle is the buoyant force formed is directly proportional to the density or the concentration of the liquid.
• The buoyant force is less the ships dips little, if more the ships dips more.
