Why does a rock sink but a cruise ship floats?
A rock sinks because its density is greater than that of water, meaning it displaces less water than its weight. In contrast, a cruise ship floats due to its large hull design, which allows it to displace a significant volume of water, creating enough buoyant force to counteract its weight. The overall density of the ship, including the air inside it, is lower than that of water, enabling it to float. This principle is explained by Archimedes' principle of buoyancy.
