What is the volume of the ship compared to the volume of the steel to make the ship?
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 3:1
that 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.

How is the density of a steel ball different from a steel ship?
Density = mass/volume let us say the mass of the steel ball and the ship are same. but the steel ball is fully enclosed, a tight spherical volume, where as the ship is a hollow, occupies more volume (multiple times) as that of the spherical ball. Considering the first equation, u know well the density of steel ball is much higher than the steel ship.
How does the ship of a steel ship allow the ship to float?
small water displacment compared to ships size
How does the shape of a steel ship allowed to ship to float?
small water displacment compared to ships size
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.
How can a ship made out of steel with a density much higher than the density of water float on the water?
The steel has a density greater than water; but the ship does not. To calculate density, you divide mass by volume. This includes the mass - and the volume - of any air trapped inside the ship.
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?
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!
How steel can make a ship float?
An object will float if it has a density that is less than that of water. Or whatever liquid it is placed on. In the case of a ship, that includes not just the steel, but the entire ship - including air trapped inside the ship.
Why does a heavy steel ship float but a small steel ball bearing sink?
A ship displaces a greater mass of water than its volume in water would make up, thereby, it weighs less than the volume of water it displaces and so it floats. A solid steel ball however displaces a lesser mass of water than its volume in water and would, thereby, weigh more than its equivalent volume of water and so it would sink.
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
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.
How do you measure a ship's buoyancy?
A ship's buoyancy is typically measured by calculating the weight of the water it displaces compared to the weight of the ship itself. This is known as Archimedes' principle. It can also be determined by measuring the ship's draft or submerged volume.
