It us easier to swim in sea water than in river water,
because sea water is denser than river water and the body
sinks less in it

Answer / mohammad mohsin zia
It is easier to swim in sea water than in a river because, the sea water contains salt which increases the density of water and also increases its upthrust so, the body sinks less in it and we swim easily ...

Answer / vishnu.p.sreekumar
Sea water contains salt which increases the density of water
and increases its upthrust which helps the body to float .

Answer / shantanu
Archimedes principle, the weight of water displaced by any
body equals the weight of the floating body. In sea water,
as density is more, less volume of water has to be displaced
for a swimmer to float. Hence, it is easier to swim.

Answer / phanindra
The density of the sea water is more than the density of river water. Thus upward thrust is larger. When a body is submerged in sea water the weight of the sea water is displaced is equal to the weight of the river water. A larger body is to be submerged in it. Hence it is easier to swim in a sea water than a river water.

Answer / sexy
Because salt water is denser....and rises to the upper
so it is easy to float

Answer / neha sharma
The density of sea water is more due to dissolve salt in it as copared to the density of river water hence. The upthrust (buoyant force) esters on the swimmer by the sea water is more which helps in floating and makes swimming easier.

Answer / swarupa dey
It is easier to swim in the sea water as compared to river water because this sea water is density and contained salt which increases the density of water and also increases its upthrust so the body sink less in it and we can easily swim in it as compared to the river water because river water is less denser than the seawater and we can sink into it ,so it is easier to swim in sea water.

Answer / raghav kumar
It's easier to swim in sea water that in river water because sea water is denser than river water, and the body sinks less in sea than river.

Answer / vaishnavi
When salt is dissolved in water, as it is in ocean water, that dissolved salt adds to the mass of the water and makes the water denser than it would be without salt. Because objects float better on a dense surface, they float better on salt water than fresh water.
