You calculate the volume of water displaced (volume of hull up to the waterline level), and multiply by the density of the water in which it will float.

How does a barge float?

It will float because water has more density than air and barges have air in them


Why barge of metal can it floats in water?

A barge made of metal can float in water because of its shape and displacement. The barge is designed to displace a volume of water that is greater than its own weight, allowing it to float. Additionally, the buoyant force acting on the barge provides the necessary upward force to keep it afloat.


How adjust the net weight in a loaded river barge due to water into the wink tanks?

If you add more sand the barge will be weighed down taking away height from the barge. If you take away sand, the barge will float higher and have an even better chance of not being able to fit under the bridge.


Does steel float on water?

It does if you spread it in to a boat or barge shape because other than that it will just sink.


How would you calculate if you can put your crane on your barge and the barge still float if all you know is the weight of the crane?

Never mind. I got it on my own. We had to figure the mass of the barge, and used Archimedes principle about fluid displacement and worked it out from there. Thanks for anyone who might have been trying to help.

They escape in barrels sent downriver to be filled.


Why can't I float in a pool?

You can't float in a pool because the density of your body is greater than the density of water, causing you to sink instead of float.


What can you do to make plasticine float?

To make plasticine float, you can shape it into a boat or raft-like structure with a concave base. By redistributing the weight and displacing enough water, the plasticine will float instead of sink.

So that the balloons float


How do cats float in water?

Cats do not float; instead, they try to paddle with all four legs. Most cats will panic and be desperate to escape the water.


Why can't have only float data type instead int and float?

Because that is how the language is defined. It has floating data types and integral data types.


What kind of wood will not float?

Some types of dense hardwoods, like ebony or ironwood, are heavy enough that they will not float in water. These woods have a higher density than water, causing them to sink instead of float.
