Salinity vs. Buoyancy of Water Group 15 Isabel Cha, CorrieGao, Wendy Liu, Reina Ooka
Research Background & Question What is the effect of changing concentration of NaCl on the buoyancy of water? Buoyancy = density x volume Weight of object = density x volume
P R O C E D U R E
Analysis/Interpretation As the density of the liquid increases, so does the maximum mass of object that can float
Conclusion & Evaluation Positive correlation between salinity and buoyancy
