What is the name of the force that helps a ship to float?
Buoyancy
This force help a ship float?
The force that helps a ship float is the buoyant force. The buoyant force is exerted by a fluid upwards that opposes the weight of the object immersed.
What force helps a ship float?
displacement of water
What is a force that helps a ship float?
The amount of water displaced by its base body is heavier than the weight of the ship.
WHAT is a force that helps a float?

Is it true that A ship is able to float on water because it has a higher density than the water?
No it has a higher density than water but the air in the ship helps.
How come a nail sinks and a metal ship floats?
An object will sink if its density is greater than that of water (or another liquid in which it is placed). If its density is less, it will float. In the case of the ship, the air in the ship helps reduce the total density.
How are ship able to float?
Just like any other object, a ship will float if it has less density than the liquid on which it is supposed to float. Density = mass / volume; in the case of a ship, that includes the volume of the ship plus any air trapped inside.
What is a force helps a ship float?
Buoyant force = Density of the water * g * Volume of displaced water For the ship to float, the buoyant force must be equal to the weight of the ship. Density of the water * g * Volume of displaced water = m * g Density of the water * Volume of displaced water = m When you multiply the density of water by the volume of displaced water, you get the mass of the ship.
