aleksA sailor on a trans-Pacific solo voyage notices one day that if he puts of fresh water into a plastic cup weighing , the cu
p floats in the seawater around his boat with the fresh water inside the cup at exactly the same level as the seawater outside the cup (see sketch at right). Calculate the amount of salt dissolved in each liter of seawater. Be sure your answer has a unit symbol, if needed, and round it to significant digits. You'll need to know that the density of fresh water at the temperature of the sea around the sailor is . You'll also want to remember Archimedes' Principle, that objects float when they displace a mass of water equal to their own mass.

Answer:
40 g
See explaination
Explanation:
Archimedes' principle states that the upward buoyant force that is exerted on a body immersed in a fluid, whether fully or partially submerged, is equal to the weight of the fluid that the body displaces.
