What would happen if a steel ship were not hollow?
The steel ship would sink.
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.
What cause deviation in a magnetic compass?
The compass needle will only align itself with the magnetic meridian if it is free from all other influences except the magnetic field of earth.This is rarely so, particularly on a ship which constructed on steel. The magnetism induced in the steel by the earths magnetic field causes the compass needle to deviate from the magnetic meridian, by an amount which is called the DEVIATION.
How can a heave cruise ship made with lots of steel and other materials denser than water float?
That is because the ship is not pure steel. There are also spaces with air in between. This reduces the average density. Now, if the ship gets a hole, and water fills the spaces instead of air, the ship will sink.
What is reason that a steel ship floats while a steel needle sinks?
The displaces a sufficient amount of water to keep it afloat
Why is a steel ship magnetised as it is constructed?
because, when a steel ship is constructing then there must be a current flow to construct it.as there is a current flow then the steel ship turned into a magnet.because steel is magnetic element.
Why does a steel ship become magnatised as it is constructed?
Welding, in short. Welding steel which contains iron will magnetize it as running an electric current through it will create a temporary magnetic field. This field will magnetize the iron in the steel and therefore give the ship a field of its own.
Why can ships with iron hulls sometimes cause a compass to become unreliable?
I never heard of this problem before, but presumably, the iron might become magnetized. However, I don't know what would magnetize such a ship.
Which technology enabled the merchant marines to contribute to victory in world war 2?
The Victory Ship. It was constructed of steel-reinforced concrete, and was used to transport cargo.
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.

What was the first steel ship called?
In 1881 the Servia, a merchant steamer capable of crossing the Atlantic in 7 days, was the first vessel to be constructed of steel. In 1858 the "Ma Roberts" was built by John Laird for Dr David Livingstons Zambezi expedition
First ocean going ship capable of crossing the Atlantic?
The first ocean going ship that was capable of crossing the Atlantic Ocean was a steam-propelled vessel named the Savannah. It was the first vessel constructed of steel and crossed the Atlantic in 7 days.

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.
