Boats float on 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. The design of a boat, including its shape and materials, allows it to displace enough water to counteract its weight, creating an upward force. This balance between the weight of the boat and the buoyant force from the displaced water enables it to remain afloat. Additionally, the density of the water plays a crucial role; since water is denser than air, it provides the necessary support for the boat.

Why does water density affect boats floating?
The water density is higher than the boat's therefore it floats on the water.
What was the damage of U-boats?
Torpedoes did the damage; under-water damage, the worst kind of damage for anything floating on water.
To skim over water?
To skim over water means to remove the floating matter over the water.

Do radio controlled boats really work on the water?
Yes, radio controlled boats do work on the water. In fact there are some boats that can reach over 140mph. The radio controlled boats are engineered to work great on water.

Is Nile water dirty?
As the river is over 4,000 miles long the only answer is that in parts it is polluted. Pollution is caused numerous ways and there are calls for more control over industry, new construction and the use of the river by watercraft, especially to dispose of their waste - including floating houses and the river commercial fleet comprised of more than 3000 boats. Around 200 cruisers, 500 boats for passengers, 1600 boats for carrying commodities and 300 motor boats, in addition to 400 floating hotels. The links below addresses just one aspect of construction and a paper on pollution
What is the friction that boats experience?
Boats experience friction with the water they are floating on, known as hydrodynamic drag. This drag is caused by the resistance of the water against the hull of the boat as it moves through the water. Factors such as the shape of the hull and the speed of the boat can affect the amount of friction experienced.
What is a flexible floating pier called?
A flexible floating pier is commonly referred to as a "floating dock" or "floating pier." These structures are designed to rise and fall with the water level, providing stable access to boats and marine facilities. They are typically constructed using buoyant materials and can be anchored or moored to accommodate changing water conditions. Floating docks are often used in marinas, harbors, and recreational areas.
