Why does boat float on the surface of 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.

Plasticine is less dense than water, so it displaces an amount of water that is equal to or greater than its weight. This buoyant force keeps the plasticine boat afloat on the water's surface.
