Problem

A fully-loaded cargo vessel moves from a river (density 1000 kg m−31000\,\text{kg\,m}^{-3}) into the sea (density 1025 kg m−31025\,\text{kg\,m}^{-3}). What will happen to the depth to which the vessel is immersed? (a) It will sink deeper in sea water (b) Its immersion depth will remain unchanged (c) It will rise slightly in sea water (d) It may overturn because of the increased upthrust
