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.

Difference between an empty ship and loaded ship in sea water?
An empty ship has less displacement and sits higher in the water compared to a loaded ship, which has more displacement and sits lower in the water due to the added weight of cargo. This difference affects stability, maneuverability, and fuel efficiency of the ship.
Would a ship loaded with a cargo of Styrofoam sink deeper into water or rise in water?
A ship loaded with a cargo of Styrofoam would rise higher in the water compared to if it were empty. Styrofoam is less dense than water, so it provides buoyancy and causes the ship to float higher in the water.
What happens to the water level when the ship is loaded?
The ship becomes lower in the water. See the Plimsoll Line. ______________ The ship settles in the water at the point where the volume of the ship under the water i.e. the weight of the water it displaces is equal to the weight of the ship. ______________ I rather think I said that, though in fewer words; see the Plimsoll Line, probably the simplest invention in human history. Refer to the Merchant Shipping Act of 1875 (British Parliament).
Which ship displaces more water 1 loaded with a cargo of corks which float or a empty one?
If you add any load on the ship, its weight will increase, and thus, it will displace more water.If you add any load on the ship, its weight will increase, and thus, it will displace more water.If you add any load on the ship, its weight will increase, and thus, it will displace more water.If you add any load on the ship, its weight will increase, and thus, it will displace more water.
Why stone sink in water but ship does not?
A stone sinks in water because it is denser than water, causing it to displace the water it occupies and ultimately sink. A ship, on the other hand, is designed to have a shape that displaces enough water to create buoyancy, allowing it to float on the surface rather than sink.

Why a ship never go down and when a peso is thrown it will sink?
water displacement
Compared with an empty ship would a ship loaded with cargo of foam insulation sink deeper into water or rise in water?
A ship that weighs 1,000 pounds displaces 1,000 pounds of water. Basically you are making a hole in the water that would take 1,000 pounds of water to fill, if it was Jell-o you could see the hole when you took the ship out. If you add 100 pounds of weight to the ship, be it feathers, foam, or lead, it will sink deeper and displace 100 more pounds of water.
Would a ship loaded with a cargo of Styrofoam sink deeper into water or rise in water?
A ship loaded with a cargo of Styrofoam would rise higher in the water compared to if it were empty. Styrofoam is less dense than water, so it provides buoyancy and causes the ship to float higher in the water.
What is the difference between a fully loaded oil tanker floating and an empty oil tanker floating?
The main difference is weight of course. When fully loaded, the ships airdraft is considerably reduced, as you can definitely see the ship is more 'in the water', or more immersed. When not loaded, or 'In ballast', the ship has several ballast tanks which are filled up with sea water in order to weigh the ship down a little, so as for it to not capsize with strong winds/rogue waves. And a ship's hull/bulbous bow, etc.. are designed to operate/navigate within a certain Loadline, hence the need to keep the ship immersed within certain parameters.
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.
When does boat start sinking in water?
A boat will sink if there is a hole in the hull below the water level. Or, if too much cargo is loaded, sinking the boat (ship) so low in the water that it either capsizes, or the water cascades inboard over the sides of the boat.
Lady in blue Indian ship in 1949?
lady in blue was an indian ship going with so much treasure tht it sink down in water and is never seen again all the treasure is in the deep water............................................
What carries no weight but can sink a ship?

Why filled cylinder with liquid gas sink in water but ship does not?
The air (within the ship) is less dense than water.,
