the hull
A ship catches fire and its steel hull expands as it heats up what happens to the volume of water the ship displaces?
Odd but good question.It's instructive to know a little about buoyancy. A floating object will always displace its own weight in water.If I have an icecube that weights 10g and put it into some water, it will be semi-submersed. The volume of water it displaces is equal to the volume of the icecube that is under water. That volume, if it were water, would weigh the same as the ice cube.So our ship has displaced it's own weight in water. When the ship is on fire, its weight does not change and so the displaced water weighs the same, hense its volume is also the same. Simple as that.This is of course ignoring several very minor effects:If fumes escape the burning ship, its weight will change slightly.Our archimedes-style analysis also does not account for surface tension (which will change as water heats up around the burning boat and also as the hull expands) but I guarentee you this effect is too small to matter or perhaps even measure.
Does thrust help a ship to float?
Yes. The configuration of the hull at the bow give tangential components of the thrusting force, one of which does force the hull upwards.
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!

Usually the hull of a ship contains a large volume of air. Why?
Because the air reduces the ship's overall density, and so allows it to float.

The reason a ship floats is because?
The basic reason that a ship floats is that the enclosed volume in the ship's hull is greater than the volume of water which has the same mass as the ship.
What is a Large beam around which the hull of a ship is built?
Keel
What is a bulkheadon a ship?
A bulkhead is a dividing wall or partition within the hull of the ship. Bulkheads allow for increased structural soundness and can also be used to contain water in the event of a hull breach.
Where is the hull of an aircraft?
the hull is the body of the aircraft, just like the hull of a ship is the body of the ship. it is the outside skin and the framework
Why is hull important for a ship?
with out a hull it would sink.
Where do sailors eat on a ship?
in the hull of the ship.
What is a double hull?
Is a ship hull design and construction method where the bottom and sides of the ship have two complete layers of watertight hull surface.
