The ship has enough gas in it to keep it afloat.

Why does a ship made of iron and steel do not sink in sea but the same amount in the form of sheet would sink?

The ship is designed to be buoyant in the water. Buoyancy works when the water displaced by the object becomes equal to the force it is putting on the water


Why does'nt a ship sink in water?

A ship won't sink if the density of the ship (metal, wood, cargo, any included air) is less than the density of water.


Why will a ship of steel sink while a ship of air wont?

It's possible that a ship of steel will not sink as well. But if it will sink, it would be because the density of steel is greater then the density of water, while air's density is lower then water's.


How far down into the water will a loaded ship sink?

A ship's draft, or how deep it sits in the water, is determined by factors like the ship's weight, buoyancy, and the density of the water. The deeper the draft, the lower the ship sits in the water. The ship will sink until it displaces an amount of water equal to its weight, which is known as the principle of buoyancy.


What carries no weight but can sink a ship?

a hole.


Why filled cylinder with liquid gas sink in water but ship does not?

The air (within the ship) is less dense than water.,


Will the ship sink further into the seawater than if it was in fresh water?

The ship will sink slightly. Salt water is denser there for heavy objects will float more in it. When the ship goes back to fresh water the density decreases and the ship lowers again. This link gives extra information and some simple experiments for you to try at home. http://www.kidsgen.com/school_projects/how_ships_float.htm


Why bodies do not sink in the salty water?

The salt makes the water dense and the object must be heavier like metal or a ship to sink.


Why do ships made of steel float instead of of sinking since steel is dencer than water?

I's not sink because see water is less dense than the steel so the ship will not sink instead of floating.
