Question

Two identical objects: one in salt water (ρ=1030) and one in fresh water (ρ=1000). Which experiences more buoyant force?
  1. A
    Fresh water
  2. B
    Salt water (more dense)
    Correct
  3. C
    Same
  4. D
    Depends on depth

Correct answer

Salt water (more dense)

Explanation

F_B = ρ_fluid × V × g. Higher ρ_fluid → more buoyancy. Salt water gives more buoyant force.
