An unloaded ship is filled with sand at the bottom?
It is dangerous for a ship to be too lightly loaded because then it floats with less volume inside water. As a result,its centre of gravity is higher and it may get blown over on its side by strong winds.Therefore, an unloaded ship is filled with sand or stones,called ballast,at its bottom.This lowers its centre of gravity so that the equilibrium of ship becomes more stable.
Why as a ship in harbour is being unloaded it slowly rises in higher?
the ship floats because its weight per volume (density) is less than water. When unloaded its weight is less and Archimedes principle says a body is equal in weight to the weight of the water it displaces; less weight displaces less water so ship rises

How would a captain know he was carrying to much cargo?
there is a line on the side of the ship, as the cargo is loaded the ship sinks deeper into the water, when the the reaches the water, they must stop loading. That is the low tech method, nowadays with computers, shipping companies know down to the pound what has been loaded onto the ship. The computers are even smart enough to load containers that will be need first onto the top so they can be unloaded easier.
A block of styrofoam floats on water while a same size block of lead lies submerged in the water The buoyant force is greatest on the?
The block of Styrofoam floats on water while a same size block of lead lies submerged in the water. The buoyant force is greatest on the lead. Compared to an empty ship, the same ship loaded with Styrofoam will float lower in the water.
