Question

When a ship goes from seawater to river water, it displaces

• A. More water to change the upthrust on it.
• B. Less water to change the upthrust.
• C. More water to increase the stability.
• D. Equal water.

Answer 1

The correct option is A

More water to change the upthrust on it.

1. The density of seawater is more than that of the river water.
2. The ship is likely to sink in river water with equal water as sea.
3. So, It has to displace more water to float.

Hence, option(A) is correct.
