2) What should be added to cause the egg to sink to the bottom once again ? **Concept to Investigate: Density, Buoyancy, Archimedes' Principle****Materials:**- Salt- Eggs (2)- Container**Description:**Density is the mass to the volume ratio of a substance. If the density of an object is less than the density of the fluid in which it is placed, the object will float. If the density of the object is greater than the density of the fluid, it will sink. Because of the presence of dissolved salts, salt water has a higher density than freshwater. Archimedes' principle states that an object is buoyed by a force equivalent to the weight of the water it displaces. Knowing this, what will happen to a ship or fish as it moves from salt water to fresh water or vice versa?**Experiment:**Place a fresh egg in a container full of tap water and record its position. Slowly stir salt into the beaker until the egg rises and is suspended above the bottom of the beaker but below the surface of the water.**Questions:**1. What should be added to raise the egg to the surface?2. What should be added to cause the egg to sink to the bottom once again?3. Why did the egg rise when the salt was added to the system?4. Will the ship ride higher in an ocean or lake? Why?5. Petroleum geologists and engineers often flood oil wells with salt water to increase production. Why?
