Question
A trawler is fully loaded in sea water to maximum capacity. What will happen to this trawler, if moved to river water? Explain your answer.
Solution
Density of sea water is more than the density of river water. So river water offers less upthrust to the trawler as compared to sea water. So, when a trawler is fully loaded sea water to maximum capacity, is moved to river water, it will sink.
