Why is ship floating on the water but it is made of metal?
Because the volume of water it displaces weighs more than the ship. Archimedes principle says that the upwards force on the ship is equal to the weight (mass) of fluid displaced - so the ship floats
What is the floating wreckage of a ship?
The floating wreckage of a ship refers to any debris or remnants of a ship that are found floating on the water surface after a ship has sunk or been damaged. This can include items such as wood planks, foam, metal fragments, and other materials that were part of the ship's structure.
Why can metal ships float?
Metal ships float because they are designed to displace a volume of water greater than their own weight. This displacement creates an upward force known as buoyancy, which keeps the ship afloat. Additionally, the metal used in ship construction is carefully chosen and shaped to provide the necessary strength and buoyancy.
What do ship steel fitters do?
Ship steel fitters work on ships to assemble, install, and repair the steel components that make up the structure of the ship. This can include fitting and welding metal parts, reading blueprints and technical diagrams, and ensuring that all parts are properly aligned and secured. They play a crucial role in the construction and maintenance of ships to ensure they are structurally sound and seaworthy.
Even though a brick weighs less than a metal-hull ship a brick in a bathtub sinks but a metal-hull ship in the ocean floats why?
This is due to the principle of buoyancy, which is determined by the density of the object compared to the fluid it's in. A brick is more dense than water, so it sinks. However, a metal-hull ship is designed to displace enough water to create buoyant force greater than its weight, allowing it to float.
How does coating with another metal prevent corrosion?
when you coat a metal in another metal you are protecting the inside metal. The metal metal that is being used as a coat must be more corrosive than the 1st metal. For example iron can be coated in zinc because zinc is more corrosive than iron. This is common on a ship, the iron hull is coated with blocks of zinc which will act as a barrier and will corrode instead of the iron. The zinc blocks must be renewed after a period of time however. Other ways of stopping metals from corroding include, chromium plating, coating in paint, oil or plastic.
Can 10 people make a real pirates ship?
if you know how to ship make a metal boat then you will know how to make a wooden pirate ship.
Kinds of metal in building a ship?

What is ratguard?
A cone shaped piece of metal fitted to a rope or hawser to prevent rats from boarding a ship while moored to the dock.
To prevent a ship from tiping?

How do sacrificial metals protect ship's hulls?
Sacrificial metals work in accordance with the "galvanic series" - the potential for current flow from one metal to another. If you put two metals in an electrolyte, of which seawater is a good one, the less noble or "more anodic" metal will corrode and save the more noble or "more cathodic" metal from corroding. Zinc, being both highly anodic and very cheap to purchase, is the standard sacrificial anode on ships.
Why does a metal ship flow on water?
Because in the ship has more air than the water.Therefore water has more density than the metal ship which contains more air.
Scuttling a ship?
That is where the crew sinks their own ship. It was done to prevent the ship from falling into enemy hands.
