How does the shape of the boat effect it to sink or float?
The science is called "displacement". If the shape of the boat allows the amount of the boat in the water to be less weight than the water it displaces it will float. If the amount of the boat in the water weighs more than the water it displaces it will sink.
Why does a boat float on water?
it displaces more water than it wieghs i think
What makes a bost float?
I assume you meant "BOAT"A boat floats because it displaces water... put a boat in the water and it sinks into the surface of the water...the part of the boat beneath water level pushes water out of the way.When the weight of the water pushed out of the way is the same as the weight of the boat, the boat can sink no further.Tho made of steel or other heavy materials, naval architects calculate displacement ( the weight of water the ship's hull pushes out of the way ) as long as the ship weighs Less than the water it displaces, it will safely float.The difference between the weight of the boat and the weight of water it displaces will determine how much Cargo a boat can carry.
Why does the water level go down when a boat sinks?
When a boat is floating on water it displaces water equal to its weight(Archimedes Principle). As the density of water is less than boat so water displaced is greater than volume of boat. When the boat sinks water displaced is equal to volume of boat. So less water is displaced in 2nd case and consequently water level goes down. Note - relation between volume(v) mass(m) and density(d) : d = m/v
How can aluminum float on water?
Shape the aluminum to look like a boat, so it displaces enough water to float. The force supporting the aluminum is the buoyant force. It is equal to the weight of the volume of water displaced.
What will make a boat hold weight?
How much weight a boat will hold depends on the volume of the boat. This is called displacement. displacement is exactly equal to the weight of the water the boat displaces, that is the boat makes a hole in the water. The volume of that hole times the weight of water (64 lbs for salt water, 62.4 for fresh water) - displacement. The volume of water displaces is equal to the volume of the boat.
How does the shape of the boat effect it to sink or float?
The science is called "displacement". If the shape of the boat allows the amount of the boat in the water to be less weight than the water it displaces it will float. If the amount of the boat in the water weighs more than the water it displaces it will sink.
What does the hull do on a boat?
Basically, the hull on a boat keeps out the water, and displaces the water to create buoyancy, which enables the boat to float.

What does it mean when displacement is talked about in sailboats?
Simply put, the displacement of any boat is the amount of water the hull displaces when it floats. The weight of the water being displaced will be equal to the weight of the boat...assuming it's still floating, that is.
How does a boat stay afloat?
It is lighter than the volume of water which it displaces.

What relation do you find between the weight of the floating body and the waight of water that is displaced?
They are equal.When a boat is floating on water it displaces water equal to its weight(Archimedes Principle). As the density of water is less than boat so water displaced is greater than volume of boat. When the boat sinks water displaced is equal to volume of boat. So less water is displaced in 2nd case and consequently water level goes down.Note - relation between volume(v) mass(m) and density(d) : d = m/v
Why dont boats sink?
Boats displace water (push it out of the way). The boat weighs less than the water it displaces, so it floats on top. If the boat weighed more than the water is displaces, it would sink- which is how a submarine goes under water.
How can aluminum float on water?
Shape the aluminum to look like a boat, so it displaces enough water to float. The force supporting the aluminum is the buoyant force. It is equal to the weight of the volume of water displaced.
How doboats float without sinking?
Because the mass of the boat is less than the mass of water the boat displaces.
