Which stone doesnt sink in water?
Pumice
Why will a ship of steel sink while a ship of air wont?
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.
Difference between an empty ship and loaded ship in sea water?
A loaded ship is going to sink into the water more,causing water to displace..
Why a stone sink in water but a ship floats on water surface?
A stone has a greater density than water; a ship, less.
What is the purpose of protecting a ship's hull?
So the c u n t doesnt sink lol
Why stone sink in water but ship does not?
due to Archimedes principle
Why filled cylinder with liquid gas sink in water but ship does not?
The air (within the ship) is less dense than water.,
What carries no weight but can sink a ship?
a hole.
Why bodies do not sink in the salty water?
The salt makes the water dense and the object must be heavier like metal or a ship to sink.
Will the ship sink further into the seawater than if it was in fresh water?
The ship will sink slightly. Salt water is denser there for heavy objects will float more in it. When the ship goes back to fresh water the density decreases and the ship lowers again. This link gives extra information and some simple experiments for you to try at home. http://www.kidsgen.com/school_projects/how_ships_float.htm
Why ship doenot sink in ocean?
Ships don't sink in the ocean because the air pressure pushes the ship upward and keeps it buoyant-------------------------------- Ships don't sink because the overall density of the ship is lower than the density of the salt water and it displaces its weight's equivalent of water using only a portion of the ship's volume.
Why does a ship made of iron and steel do not sink in sea but the same amount in the form of sheet would sink?
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
