I don't understand what you're asking, so I'll reply based on the literal meaning of your question.

One way to change the overall density of a boat is to take it apart and make it out of a material with a different density.

You could just add ballast or cargo.

What are three ways that you can change the overall density of a boat?

To change the overall density of a boat, you can: add or remove weight (cargo, passengers), adjust the distribution of weight (move heavy items to different locations), or change the volume of the boat (e.g. by adding or removing buoyant materials).


Can boats float?

Only if the overall density of the boat is less than the medium in which it is placed.


What is density of iron boat?

That depends on how much gargo it's carrying. But if it's floating, then its density is less than 1.0 .


Why will a hollow boat made of plasticine float?

A hollow boat made of plasticine will float because the overall density of the boat is lower than the density of water. The buoyant force acting on the boat is greater than its weight, allowing it to float on the water's surface.


How does a steel boat float and a flat piece of steel with the same mass sinks?

There is air in the boat so the overall density is less. The weight is spread out.


What is the density of your average boat?

That question has no answer, because I don't own a boat. But regarding any boat in general, if the boat is afloat, then its density is less than 1.0 .


What is the loa of a boat?

It is the "overall" lenght of the boat.


How can you change the overall density of an object?

In a simple way, since density = mass /volume, the density of an object can be changed by changing either mass or volume of an object .


Is density of the whole item equal to its parts?

No, the density of the whole item is not necessarily equal to the density of its parts. The overall density of an object is determined by its mass and volume, which can change when multiple parts are combined. Additionally, different materials can have different densities, affecting the overall density of the item when combined.


Why do boats with water sink?

When the density of entire assembly (boat, peoples, products, equipments, water etc.) has a density greater then the water density the boat is sinking.


What part of the boat makes it float?

The boat floats because the entire boat - including any air contained within - has a total density less than the density of the water.


If a boat is sinking because it has to much cargo How does density compare to the density of water?

If a boat with too much cargo is sinking, it means the combined density of the boat and cargo is greater than the density of water. Water has a density of 1 g/cm^3, so anything with a greater density will sink. To stay afloat, an object must have a density less than that of water.
