What 2 forces affect you when you float how do these 2 forces compare in size?
There is the downward force of gravity, pushing you towards the bottom of the body of water. The second force is buoyant force which keeps you afloat. Since you aren't sinking then the buoyant force is greater than the force of gravity.
How should floating docks be anchored?
There are two ways Anchoring way of floating docks:1.If water is less than 3m in depth, steel piles are to be put in proper place and then connected by wheels, which can prevent the floating dock from moving laterally but can automatically rise and fall in line with water level.2.If water is over 3m in depth, anchoring can be used by sinking the anchorage block pulled by steel cables to the water bottom.

Will a sinking ship suck things floating around it down with it?
It depends how fast it sinks. If it sinks fast, it creates a suction whirlpool and SHCLOOP! Everything is gone for a while and finally bobs back to the surface (if it can float). Slowly sinking ships don't though. (eg. Titanic, the movie whirpool was fake. the ship sank veeeerrry slowly, as it took some 2-3 hours)
