Without gravity, a boat wouldn't be able to float on water, so yes, gravity allows a boat to float (as well as sink into) water.
A boat floats from buoyancy force. The buoyancy force is from the volume of water it displaces with it's shape below the water. The buoyancy force is equal to the volume of water it displaces multiplied by 62.4 lbs. per cubic foot (the density of water). So if the boat displaces 20 cubic feet of water with it's hull or shape it can hold 20 x 62.4 = 1248 lbs. of self weight plus cargo. Obviously there should be a factor of safety on that.
In summary, a boat needs two things to float on water: Gravity and buoyancy force. Gravity keeps the boat on the water in the first place, but the buoyancy force is the actual thing that keeps the boat afloat. Technically, it is the buoyancy force that allows a boat to float, but if you want to get really technical, it is gravity in the first place that allows a boat to float on water.
A boat floats because it is less dense than the water it displaces. The upward force acting on the boat from the water is called buoyancy, which counteracts the force of gravity pulling the boat downward. As long as the weight of the boat is less than the weight of the water it displaces, the boat will float on the surface of the water.
If the laws of Timothy allow it.
no design matters. it is the force of water resistance and upthrust that are level that allows any boat to float
The term is impossible. A boat cannot float clear of the water.
A paper boat floats on water because of buoyancy, which is the force that water exerts on objects placed in it. The shape of the boat traps air inside it, which makes it less dense than water and allows it to float. Additionally, the weight of the paper boat is spread out over the surface of the water, creating an upward force that counteracts gravity.
Boats float due to a concept called buoyancy. When a boat displaces water equal to its weight, the force of buoyancy pushes upward on the boat, counteracting the force of gravity pulling it down. This allows the boat to stay afloat on the water rather than sinking.

Yes, a paper boat can float on water as long as it is well-made and the paper is not too thin. The boat's ability to float depends on its design and the displacement of water.
wow that's sad a boat that can float is any tye of boat that doesnt have a hole in it
Mica is over twice as dense as water, so unless the mica is in the shape of a boat, it will sink.
A boat floats in water due to the principle of buoyancy, where the weight of the water displaced by the boat is equal to the weight of the boat itself. To help a boat float, it needs a shape that displaces enough water to support its weight. The design of the boat, including its hull shape and materials used, all contribute to its ability to float effectively.
The term is impossible. A boat cannot float clear of the water.
