∙ 14y agoThe phenomenon of buoyancy keeps large ships (and small ones) afloat. By building a strong hull and including sufficient volume within it, when it is placed in water, it will begin to sink. But it will only sink until it displaces a volume of water equal to the mass of the ship. At that point, the buoyancy of the water will keep it afloat.

∙ 7y agoIf the ship is actually too heavy the ship will sink into the water below the mark for its waterline (see image above) and run the risk of sinking completely when exposed to waves as it travels to its destination.
The ship floats normally because it contains a large empty volume so that the ship displaces a volume of water that weighs more than the ship itself weighs, this excess displacement is called buoyancy.

because of greater surface area.

∙ 14y agoThey just have to keep less dense then the water they are in

How large ocean vessels are designed to maximize buoyancy?
Large Ocean vessels are designed to have a flat bottom and high sides so they can maximize buoyancy. You're Welcome
What do jellyfish float on in the ocean?
they do not float on any thing
Why does an iceberg float in the ocean?
Icebergs float in the ocean because the iceberg is less dense than the water.
Which planet if it was to brought on the ocean will float?
Saturn will float in ocean as it has least density of 0.70 gm/cm^3..
What type of water is most likely to float on the surface of the ocean?
Ice is a form of water that will float on the surface of the ocean.
Is it better to float in a pool or a ocean?
a ocean because the salt water makes you float and a pool water doesn't.
Does an iceberg float in the ocean?
yes
Can people float on the ocean?
yes
Why does tar float on the ocean?
No all tar does float. For something to float then it must be less dense than saltwater.
How does a iceburg form?
Icebergs are formed when large pieces of ice break off of glaciers. These chunks of ice will begin to float away until they reach the ocean.
What are the results of can water float on water?
The results of can water float on water is that the water builds a ocean.
Can swimmer float more easily on a freshwater or an ocean?
The more salt there is in the water, the easier it is to float.
