The density of water increases as the temperature decreases and approaches a maximum at 4oC. After this point the density decreases until 0oC at which point the water changes to ice.
The density and the buoyant force of the water therefore increases until the 4oC point at which time it decreases slightly:
Temp ( °C ) : Density (g/cm3)
0 : 0.9999
4 : 1.000
20 : 0.9982
40 : 0.9922
60 : 0.9832
80 : 0.9718
Using Lake Superior as an example, the surface water temperature varies between 20oC July/August and slightly above 0oC in December/January. The water provides 1% more buoyancy (it's density is 1% higher) in winter.
What else can I help you with?
Why can a ship load more in the summer than winter?
Ships can load more in the summer than in the winter because water density decreases as temperature increases, making it less buoyant. This means that ships can sit lower in the water during warmer months, allowing them to carry more cargo without exceeding their weight limits.
Does the ground absorb more water in the summer or the winter?
it absorbs more in the summer
Why do feel more thirsty in summer than winter?
Because they do not sweat as much in the winter than they do in the summer.
Is there likely to be more water vapor in the air in summer or winter?
There is typically more water vapor in the air in summer compared to winter because warmer air has the ability to hold more moisture. This leads to higher humidity levels during the summer months.
Is more oxygen produced in the winter or summer?
Oxygen is produced by living plants. Plants use Carbon Dioxide, Water and Sunlight to make Sugars and Oxygen. As sunlight is required and there is more of this in summer, more oxygen is produced in summer than winter.
Are hot water heater problems more common in the summer or winter?
Hot water heater problems are more common in the winter, due to the constant usage; this is especially true, if your water heater is run on gas.
Is the influence of cool ocean currents on coastal temperatures more pronounced in summer or winter and why?
Because the water level rises at the summer temperature.
What Olympic has more events winter or summer?
Summer
Are more people born in summer or winter?
Summer
Why does buoyancy force change in the fluid temperature high temperature less buoyancy low temperature high buoyancy now why is that?
Buoyant force is directly proportional to the mass of the liquid that is displaced by an object that is submerged in it. The mass of a certain volume of a liquid is directly proportional to the density of that liquid. The more dense the liquid is, the greater is the buoyant force. For water that is over 4 degrees Centigrade in temperature, the warmer the water, the less dense is the water. In other words, warm (summer) water is less buoyant than is cold (winter) water, because the density of warmer water is less than is the density of cooler water. Similarly, salt water is more buoyant than fresh water, because the density (in grams per cubic centimeter, or pounds per cubic yard) of salt water is greater than is the density of fresh water.
Which is bigger summer or winter Olympic?
probably summer it has more events but winter is gr8 too.
Why Milk sours more rapidly in summer than in winter?
Because, in summer the temperature is high and this helps milk to sour more easily than winter. But in winter it is totally opposite to it. Thus, milk turns sour more easily in summer than winter.
