Day 6: Question of the day
How much salt does one gallon of ocean water contain? What would happen if you send a golf ball down to the sea floor?
-There is 13.25g/gal. i know this because there is 35g/kg of salt in the ocean. There is 100kg/m^3
and there are 264gal/m^3. So 35x100kg= 3500, 3500g/m^3. 3500g/264gal = 13.25g/gal
g=gram, gal=gallon, kg=kilogram, m=meter.
-if you send a golfball down to the sea floor in the deep depths of the ocean you will lose that golfball and never ever find it again.
