What else can I help you with?
How much is dropping clearance of propeller of a ship?
The propeller clearance of a ship, is the length a propeller extends below the hull (bottom) of a ship or boat.
How wide are doors on a cruise ship?
About the same as the length of a piece of string..........
What is a ship spine?
keel - the chief timber or steel element extending along the entire length of the bottom of a boat or ship and supporting the frame. It is also called the backbone of a ship.
What is the volume of a piece of metal?
The Volume of steel used should always be less than the volume of ship made out of it.The ratio could differ and hence there may be no specific ratio.The greater the (Ratio of Volume of ship:Ratio of Volume of steel used) say 3:1that means the ship can carry about 2 times the volume of the steel used.That means the water displaced would be 3 times volume of steel hence the water is applying the force on ship is 3 times weight of steel.***STUDY BUOYANCY
Why does a solid piece of clay while a clay boat can be made to float?
The clay boat (like a steel ship) displaces its own weight in the water. So, as long as the sides of the clay boat (or steel ship) is above the water level, it will float. A solid piece of clay will (like a stone) sink immediately.
A steel nail but a steel ship floats how can that be?
The steel ship has a lot of air inside. The nail is solid steel.
Why does a solid piece of clay sink while clay boat can be made to float?

Why does the hull of a ship contain a large volume of air?
The shape of the ships hull causes the ship to displace a greater volume of water then a solid piece of steel with the same mass. A ship displaces a volume of water equal in weight to the submerged portion of the ship. Hope this helps!
Why does the hull of a large ship contain a large volume of air?

Why does a steel ship float?
A steel ship floats because of the principle of buoyancy. The weight of the water displaced by the ship is equal to the weight of the ship itself, allowing it to stay afloat.
How ship floats on water surface?
The density of the VOLUME of the ship is less than the density of the water it displaces (pushes out of the way). While the steel of a steel hulled ship is denser than water, the steel plus the air enclosed by the steel is less dense.
Why does a ship made of steel float when steel is dense enough to sink in water?
The ship has enough gas in it to keep it afloat.
