A block of iron sinks because its density is greater than that of water, meaning it displaces less water than its own weight. In contrast, an iron boat floats because its overall design includes a hollow structure that increases its volume and reduces the average density of the entire object, allowing it to displace enough water to counterbalance its weight. This principle is rooted in Archimedes' principle of buoyancy.

Why does iron block displaces more water than a copper block of the same weight?
Iron is denser than copper, so a block of iron will displace more water than a block of copper of the same weight because the iron block takes up less space for the same mass. This means that the iron block will sink deeper into the water, displacing more water.

Why does iron sinks while iron boat floats on sea?
jk its because the boats are full of air, which is less dense than water, and so is unable to sink. if there is a hole in the boat, the air will proceed to be replaced with water, and therefore sink. There must be enough air in the boat to be able to carry the large weight of the iron.
Why does a concrete canoe float but a concrete block sink?
The block isn't aerodynamic, so it sinks. The boat, no matter what it's constructed with, will be able to float if it's in a shape that will be aerodynamic in water.
Why if a boat has a hole it will slowly sink?
Because of the water having to fill the boat up to sink it
Why will a block of iron float in mercury and sink in water?
A block of iron will float in mercury due to the higher density of iron compared to mercury. In water, the iron block will sink because the density of iron is higher than that of water. The buoyant force acting on the iron block is determined by the density of the surrounding fluid.
When did the hindenburg's sink?
The Hindenburg was a BLIMP not a boat. It did not sink.
