It depends on the density of a substance, if it can float or not. If its mass per volume is less than the one of water, it floats. That means overall that the same volume of water would have a bigger weight than the one of the ship... and it floats... By the way: The volume of water the ship pushes away (under the water line) while floating, has just the weight of the ship. So if you're talking about a certain water deplacement of a ship, you're actually talking about the ship's weight ;-). Vic
What else can I help you with?
How does the Oasis of the Sea cruise ship float?
boyancy in the hull of the ship
Would a large metal ship float in the same volume of fresh water?
Metal ships are built to float.
Why does ship float on sea?
A ship floats on the sea due to the principle of buoyancy. The weight of the water displaced by the ship is equal to the weight of the ship, allowing it to float. This is because the density of the ship is lower than the density of water.
Which sea would a ship float best in?
A sea comprised of liquid, with the greatest possible density.
What is a sea going vessel?
its anything that can float in sea like a submarine,ship, yacht etc
Why ships floating in the sea?
ship float in the sea because water has less density than any substance ship has much weight and thatswhy it sinks
How does a ship made of metal float?
"average density" You must combine the weight of the metal hull with that of the air contained within it.
Can metal ships float?
It depends. A steel ship will float just fine, so will an iron one(i.e. Old Ironsides). It all depends on the size, weight, and buoyancy of the ship.
Is mercury sink or float if you placed in sea water?
Mercury is a heavy metal, it will sink in sea water.
Why in dead sea ship float easily?
The water of the Dead Sea is unusually salty (even for a sea) and hence, it is also unusually dense.
Explain why a ship that is mostly made of metal float on the water?
It displaces water and is filled with air.
How the ship floats on sea?
Displacement - the ship displaces an amount of water equal to its weight. Provided that this dowes not submerge the vessel, it will float.
