Fairly simple - I think - but I may have missed something; HS physics was decades ago. If a boat in a body of water on Earth has a draft of 1m, will the draft of the boat in a similar body of water on, say, Mars have the same draft? (Assume the same temperature of water.) I figured the change in water density would be minimal on the surface, even if it's an ocean we're considering. This originally came up while reading a SciFi book where the 'artificial' gravity was changing but it got me...
