A barge made of metal can float in water because of its shape and displacement. The barge is designed to displace a volume of water that is greater than its own weight, allowing it to float. Additionally, the buoyant force acting on the barge provides the necessary upward force to keep it afloat.

How does a metal boat float in water?
A metal boat floats in water because of a principle called buoyancy. The boat's shape and weight displace enough water to create an upward force that supports the boat's weight, allowing it to float on the surface of the water.
How do you know the density of an object if it floats on water?
If an object floats on water, it means its density is less than that of water. You can calculate the density of the object by comparing its weight to its volume, using the formula density = mass/volume. The density of water is about 1 g/cm^3, so if the object floats on water, its density will be less than 1 g/cm^3.
What is something that floats in water?
A wooden boat floats in water due to its buoyancy and the displacement of water created by the boat's weight.
What weight of cargo could a barge carry if it was 100ft long x 25 ft wide x 10 ft high and it was lowered 4 ft into the water?
The weight of the barge plus cargo will equal the weight of the water it displaces. If the barge sinks to a depth of 4' then the volume of barge under water is 4 x 25 x 100 = 10,000 cf. This will also be the volume of water displaced. Water weighs 62.4 lbs per cf so 10,000 cf weighs 624000 lbs. This will be the cargo weight plus the weight of the barge. No way to separate the two weights, but the barge weight is probably a small portion of the total.
What floats on water but not even a thousand men can lift?
A piece of paper floats on water but cannot be lifted by a thousand men as it is too light.
Why do barges ride higher in the ocean than in the river?
Salt water is denser than fresh water. That means that a barge is more bouyant in salt water; therefore, it floats higher.
What floats on water and is a conductor of electricity?
A metal boat would float on water and be a conductor of electricity.
What is a barge pole?
A barge pole is a variety of quant pole used to propel a barge through the water.
Which metal is light and float in water?
Usually aluminum floats because it is also quite light.
Which metal floats?
Lithium and sodium will both float on water, but not for long, because they're both explosively reactive with water.
Can float on water?
Of course. Fresh water floats on salt water, warmer water floats on cooler water, and ice floats on any water.
How does ice floats on water?
It is less dense than water, therefore it floats on water.
What particle floats freely in metal?
an electron.
How does a metal boat float in water?
A metal boat floats in water because of a principle called buoyancy. The boat's shape and weight displace enough water to create an upward force that supports the boat's weight, allowing it to float on the surface of the water.
How did Alcatraz get water?
Believe it or not, A water barge. Alcatraz has no utility's.
What is a water based coal mover?
barge
