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 do boats float on water?
To begin the boat has a surface area factor and water has a surface tension and the way the boat is crafted causes it to sit on this tension because the hull of the boat is filled with air which is less dense than water. So the combination of the fact that air is less dense than water and the surface tension of water causes the boat to floatobjects float because they displace more water than they weigh.An object in a fluid experiences an upward force equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object. So if a boat weighs 1,000 pounds (or kilograms), it will sink into the water until it has displaced 1,000 pounds (or kilograms) of water. Provided that the boat displaces 1,000 pounds of water before the whole thing is submerged, the boat floats.An object will float in a fluid if it can displace a greater weight in fluid than the object itself weighsmore than 0.1density of water will sink on watern less than 0.1 will floats
