There is really no way to answer the question definitively. It can only be answered in general, theoretical terms. Since you didn't mention the VOLUME of the object, we cannot determine the amount of salt water it displaced. The object's weight would be reduced by an amount equal to the weight of the water displaced. Further, since we don't know the density of the salt water -- salt water is denser than fresh water, and its density varies with salinity -- that further confounds the problem. First, Pascal's principle tells us that fluid pressure on a submerged object is exerted in all directions. But since fluid pressure increases with depth, the pressure on the bottom of the object is greater than on the top, so a net upward force -- buoyancy -- is created. Second, objects of equal volume will have the same buoyancy. (That is somewhat counter-intuitive, since many people assume that a rock will be less buoyant than, say, a similarly sized piece of cork.) The buoyant force opposes the object's weight, so submerged objects have lower effective weight than objects in air. If the buoyant force is greater than an object's real weight, it will rise; if not, it sinks. Third, since buoyancy is proportional to the volume of the submerged object, if the object compresses significantly as it reaches greater depth, its buoyancy will decrease and its effective or apparent weight will increase, which will cause it to sink farther.
Archimedes Principle. Archimedes said, "Any object, wholly or partially immersed in a fluid, is buoyed up by a force equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object." Therefore, since salt water is denser, and therefore heavier than an equal amount of water, you will be pushed upward by more force, and thus will weigh less.
Just about anything will float in saltwater, if there is enough salt in the water. The salt content of the Dead Sea is about 31%, and it's very easy for a person to float in. This is because the salt makes the water more dense, and this affects the property known as buoyancy. If the weight of an object is less than the weight of the fluid the object would displace if it were fully submerged, then the object has an average density less than the fluid and has a buoyancy greater than its weight. Make the water denser (heavier) by adding salt, and you increase the likelihood that an object will weigh less than the water it displaces, and will therefore float. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buoyancy#De…
The water inside of the body is saltier than salt water, so wrinkles do not form. Wrinkles form when skin is in water because of the evaporation of water out of the skin after being immersed.
Whether an object will float or sink in water will depend on its volume and weight. If the weight of the displaced water is more than that of the body, the body will float. On the other hand if the weight is the displaced water is less than that of the body, the body will sink. Again if both of them are equal, the body will partially sink. Sea water contains salt. So its density is more and consequently, the weight of the sea water is more. So there is more chance of a ship to float in sea water than in river water. ADD: It depends on the density of the object. If an object is denser than water, it will sink. If it is less dense than water, it will float.
In short. Select an object that would just sink in water. Then using identical sized containers pour an equal amount of water into each, say 3/4 full. Then in each dissolve an increasing amount of salt, from no salt in the first, to large amounts of salt in the last. Then place the same object into each container, starting with the "no added salt" water to demonstrate it would sink in this. Then into the increasing concentrations of salt. If it is suspended in the salt solution and not the first "no added salt" water, you're proven salt water helps objects float
It depends on the density of the water and the weight of the object.
They can float without salt - It's the ratio of water displaced by the object in relation to its weight of the object that allows it to float - not the salt content of the water.

yes An object, like a boat for example, will sink into the water until the weight of the water it displaces equals the gross weight of the object. Since salt water is denser than fresh water, a boat will sit slightly higher in salt water. (That's why the Mythbusters needed far fewer ping pong balls to raise a boat from the bottom of the bay than they originally calculated; they based their calculation on the fresh water boyancy of the ping pong balls.)
If the object does not quite float in water, adding salt to the water might make the object float, yes.
Because according to the principle of Archimedes: "Any body immersed in a liquid undergoes a bottom-up thrust equal to the weight of liquid displaced" When submerged, the boat displaces water. Since salt water has greater weight per unit volume (density) than fresh water, the weight of the displaced salt water is higher. So the ship receives a bigger push in salt water than in fresh water. So it floats more.

A grain of salt.
