Why does the depth of water not affect the level at which a ships floats?

A ship floats due to buoyancy, which is determined by the weight of the water displaced by the ship, not by the depth of the water. As long as the weight of the ship is less than the weight of the water it displaces, it will float at the same level regardless of the depth of the water.


How much water is needed to float a ship?

The amount of water needed to float a ship depends on factors such as the weight and size of the ship, as well as the density of the water. A ship displaces an amount of water equal to its weight, so it will float as long as it displaces its weight in water.


A ship can float on water as long as it weighs less than water.?

false


Why does a container ship that is fully loaded float?

A fully loaded container ship floats because of the principle of buoyancy. The weight of the ship is supported by the water it displaces, according to Archimedes' principle. As long as the weight of the ship is less than the weight of the water it displaces, the ship will float.


Why does metal ship float on sea?

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


How much water a battleship displaces?

A battleship can displace anywhere from 20,000 to 100,000 tons of water, depending on its size and design. This displacement helps the ship float by balancing the weight of the ship against the weight of the water it displaces.


How do you weight a ship?

Archimedes principle. See how much water it displaces.


Explain why a ship that is mostly made of metal float on the water?

It displaces water and is filled with air.


What is the ships displacement formula calculation?

The formula to calculate a ship's displacement is: Displacement = Weight of water displaced by the ship = Weight of the ship in air - Weight of the ship in water. This formula helps determine the volume of water that a ship displaces when it is floating in water.


How balloons and blimps are able to fly in oceans of air?

Balloons float because of the same principal as how ships float: bouyancy. A ship displaces a volume of water. If the ship's weight is less than the volume of water that it displaces, then it will float. Same is true for a balloon. It displaces a volume of air. If the Hydrogen or Helium in the balloon weighs less than the volume of air it displaces, then it will rise.


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.


Why does a ship float in water whereas a name?

A ship floats in water as, after it displaces its weight, the level of water outside the hull is not high enough to pour over the gunnels (walls) of the ship and flood the inside of the hull.
