No. A ship going through a lock gets raised or lowered several meters,
without any effect on its ability to float.

Why does ship float on sea?
An object will float on water if it has less density than the water.
How do you explain the weight of a ship and how it float on water?
An object will float on water if it has less density than the water.
Why is a ship able to float on water?
A ship can float on water because of buoyancy. The shape of the ship and the displacement of the water it pushes aside when it enters the water create an upward force that counteracts the downward force of gravity. This buoyant force allows the ship to float and support its own weight.
What force causes objects to float on water?
Gravity makes a ship float. Gravity pulls harder on the mass of water than the air inside the ship. In this way the water is pulled under the ship, instead of the ship being pulled under the water.
What force makes a ship float?
water resistance
What factors determine how low a ship will float in water?
The buoyancy of the ship, the cargo onboard, the state of the ship, the temperature of the water, the weight, the strength of the waves/up and down movement, etc.

Why do iron ship flow on water?
because it is designed in such a way for the ship to float on water
What is it called when a ship float on water?
buoyancy

How does a ship stay on top of water?
a ship stays on water frombuoyancy which makes it float. the saltier the water the more buoyancy there is, enabling more weight to float on top

Can a ship float on water as long as it weights less than water?
Yes. That sort of defines "float".
How much water does a large ship displace to float?
the weight of the ship is equal to the amount of water displaced
What force makes a ship float?
water resistance
How much water is nedeed to float a ship?
ships float due to bouyant force how much water they dislace
