A big iceberg sank the Titanic, a very big ship for it's time.
A big iceberg sank the Titanic, a very big ship for it's time.
The ship has enough gas in it to keep it afloat.
The iceburg made a hole in the sip and water started to leek in the ship then it got filled with water and it split in 2
The ship is designed to be buoyant in the water. Buoyancy works when the water displaced by the object becomes equal to the force it is putting on the water
A ship won't sink if the density of the ship (metal, wood, cargo, any included air) is less than the density of water.
It's possible that a ship of steel will not sink as well. But if it will sink, it would be because the density of steel is greater then the density of water, while air's density is lower then water's.
A stone has a greater density than water; a ship, less.
A loaded ship is going to sink into the water more,causing water to displace..
due to Archimedes principle
The air (within the ship) is less dense than water.,
a hole.
The salt makes the water dense and the object must be heavier like metal or a ship to sink.
