When will the hull of a ship sink deeper in the water: when the ship is sailing in fresh water or in seawater? Why?
What will be an ideal response?
The buoyancy force is proportional to the density of the medium, and thus is larger in sea water than it is in fresh water. Therefore, the hull of a ship will sink deeper in fresh water because of the smaller buoyancy force acting upwards.
