Salinity vs. Buoyancy of Water

Group 15Isabel Cha, Corrie Gao, 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

PROCEDURE

Processed Data

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
