As Archimedes discovered in his famous "Eureka!" moment, an object will float in water by displacing an amount of water with equal mass as the object. A ship floats because s displace a large amount of water, without submerging the decks. Any ocean ship will normally flat in freshwater; but because fresh water (having no salt) is less dense, the ship must displace a greater volume of water and will rest lower in the water line.
Some river barges (such as on the Rhine) are so heavily laden, that they appear to be about to sink. But because rivers have no swell, it is perfectly safe. If such a barge were filled to the gunwales (i.e. filled right up) in a seawater-port such as Rotterdam, and then went into the fresh River Rhine, the barge would be in danger of sinking.
(All vessels must have a Plimsoll line to show the permissible level to which a vessel may be safely laden).
What else can I help you with?
Why is it easier to swim in seawater then it is to swim in fresh water?
probally fresh because no salt in mouth or eyes addition: it is easier to float/swim in seawater since seawater is denser than fresh water.
Why does ship float higher than in seawater than in fresh water?
A ship floats higher in seawater compared to fresh water because seawater is denser than fresh water. The denser the liquid, the more buoyant force it exerts on the ship, causing it to float higher. This is due to Archimedes' principle, which states that the buoyant force acting on an object is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object.
Is easier to float in sea water than in fresh water?
Yes, it is easier to float in seawater than in freshwater due to the higher salt concentration in seawater, which increases its density. This increased density provides greater buoyancy, allowing objects, including a person, to float more easily. In contrast, freshwater has a lower density, resulting in less buoyancy and making it more challenging to float.
Is brackish water more saline than ocean water?
Yes, brackish water is typically less saline than ocean water. Brackish water is a mix of fresh and saltwater, with a salinity level that falls between that of freshwater and seawater. Ocean water is usually more saline due to the higher salt content.
What is water that has low saline?
Fresh.
What is fresh and saline water resistivity?
the P.H. value of fresh water is 7 & the P.H. value of saline water is less than 7.
Is the Gulf of Oman fresh water?
No, it is seawater.
How do you separate fresh water from seawater?
by evaporation
What is water that has low saline called?
Fresh.
Is the density of the salinity of seawater lower or higher?
Generally the Oceans are more saline in the tropics, that is to say the sea is less salty towards the polar regions.
What is the concentration of salt in seawater and the specific heat capacities of sea water and fresh water?
the seawater smells
What is it called Water that has low saline content?
Fresh.
