Question: in a seabased crash landing an aircraft is designed to...

Question details

In a sea-based crash landing, an aircraft is designed to float as the passengers are evacuated on to available lifeboats. When will the body of the aircraft sit higher in the water?: if the aircraft crash lands into seawater or a freshwater body? Why?

Select one:

It will sit at the same level because the geometry of the aircraft does not change.

It will sit higher in fresh water because it is more dense and buoyancy is inversely proportional to the density of the medium.

It will sit higher in seawater because it is more dense and buoyancy is proportional to the density of the medium

It will sit higher in fresh water because it is less dense and buoyancy is proportional to the density of the medium.
