Why do needle sinks in water but ship floats?
Whether something sinks when it's placed on water is determined by the amount (weight) of water that it displaces. The needle, being small in size and relatively high in mass (relative to its size), displaces very little water when it is placed on the surface. The weight of the needle will be more than the weight of the water that it displaces and the needle will sink. The ship, though many times heavier than the needle, will displace alot more water than the needle. The ship will float if the weight of the displaced water is more than the weight of the ship.

What will happen to a needle if pinch of detergent is added to a water?
If you have floated a needle on the surface of the water in a glass then adding a little detergent will cause the needle to sink. This is because the presence of the detergent changes the surface tension of the water so that it can no longer support the needle.
