the more weight, the more water displacement.


What will make a boat hold weight?

How much weight a boat will hold depends on the volume of the boat. This is called displacement. displacement is exactly equal to the weight of the water the boat displaces, that is the boat makes a hole in the water. The volume of that hole times the weight of water (64 lbs for salt water, 62.4 for fresh water) - displacement. The volume of water displaces is equal to the volume of the boat.


Difference between displacement and planning hull?

A displacement hull always displaces an amount of water equal to the weight of the boat. A planing hull at a certain speed, will begin PLANING and rise partly out of the water, forced up by its v shaped hull, and only be displacing an amount of water equal to partial weight of the boat. A large ship, a tugboat, a barge, or a sailboat are displacement hulls. A speedboat or a jetski are planing hulls.

What does it mean when displacement is talked about in sailboats?

What makes a bost float?

I assume you meant "BOAT"A boat floats because it displaces water... put a boat in the water and it sinks into the surface of the water...the part of the boat beneath water level pushes water out of the way.When the weight of the water pushed out of the way is the same as the weight of the boat, the boat can sink no further.Tho made of steel or other heavy materials, naval architects calculate displacement ( the weight of water the ship's hull pushes out of the way ) as long as the ship weighs Less than the water it displaces, it will safely float.The difference between the weight of the boat and the weight of water it displaces will determine how much Cargo a boat can carry.


What is something that floats in water?

A wooden boat floats in water due to its buoyancy and the displacement of water created by the boat's weight.


Why does a sailboat float?

A sailboat will have positive buoyancy if the weight of the boat is less than the weight of the water it takes the place of. The weight of the water that is being occupied by the hull is displacement.

What size boat will float with 250 grams and sink with 301 grams?

The boat will float with 250 grams because the weight of the boat is less than the weight of the water it displaces. It will sink with 301 grams because the weight of the boat and the additional weight exceed the buoyant force of the water.
