A boat will float sideways if the water is too shallow and it touches bottom. Boats will float higher in water with greater salt content. If you fill a boat with water it begins to sink deeper. It all depends on whether you are talking about water outside the boat or water inside the boat.
The water density is higher than the boat's therefore it floats on the water.
A wooden boat floats in water due to its buoyancy and the displacement of water created by the boat's weight.
A boat floats in water due to the principle of buoyancy, which states that an object will float if it displaces a volume of water equal to its weight. When a boat is placed in water, it pushes aside a certain amount of water, creating an upward buoyant force. As long as the weight of the boat is less than or equal to the weight of the water it displaces, it will remain afloat. This principle is described by Archimedes' principle.
Wood floats in water.
If it floats on the water.
The same way anything floats, by displacing an amount of water that weighs as much as it does. Airplanes that are meant to float on water typically either have boat-like hulls or floats whose purpose is to displace enough water to allow the airplane to float.
When the boat is first lowered gently onto the surface of the water, the surface level rises slightly, regardless of the boat's size, shape, or weight, or what it has on board. The boat floats because it has displaced an amount of water that weighs exactly as much as the boat does. That means it has pushed some water out of some volume that the boat now occupies. The water it pushed aside has to go somewhere, and the surface level in the pool must rise.
Simply put, the displacement of any boat is the amount of water the hull displaces when it floats. The weight of the water being displaced will be equal to the weight of the boat...assuming it's still floating, that is.
A boat floats by keeping water outside, regardless of any material
raft, boat
A boat made of steel floats because of the principle of buoyancy. When the boat displaces water that has a weight equal to or greater than the weight of the boat, it floats. The steel hull is designed to displace enough water to generate an upward force greater than the weight of the boat, keeping it afloat.
