Why does a piece of stone sink in water but a ship with huge weight floats according to Archimedes principle?

because the stones mass is concentrated, whereas the ship's weight is spread over

Whose principle states that the buoyant force on an object is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object?
Archimedes'
Newtons principle states that the buoyant force on an object is equal to weight of the fluid displaced by the object?
because bouyant force is the result of the displacement of the fluid an object is in, if a fluis is displaced by the volume of an object the weight of the fluid being displaced is pushing up on the object
How does Archimedes' principle relate to flight?
Of the four forces of flight (lift, thrust, weight, and drag), weight applies to Archimedes' principle. This principle states that a body buoyancy brings a body immerced in a fluid up by a force equal to the weight of the displaced fluid. It explains the weight loss of vessels submerged in water as well as those in the air.
Newton's Principle states that the buoyant force on an object is equal to weight of the fluid displaced by the object?
False, this is Archimedes's Principle.
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
Why is Archimedes' principle method called Archimedes' principle?
Archimedes principle is 'When a solid body is immersed wholly or partially in a liquid, then there is same apparent loss in its weight. This loss in weight is equal to the weight of the liquid displaced by the body.' It was given by Archimedes so it was named after him.
What is loss of weight in the Archimedes principle?
Displacement.
What does Archimedes principle?
Archimedes Principle states that the buoyant force on an object is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by that object.
Which metal floats in water?
Sodium. Iron will float if it is a hollow structure according to Archimedes Principle that an object will float if it displaces an amount of water/fluid equal to the weight of the object. A ship will displace an amount of water equal to the weight of the ship, cargo and passengers combined.
What type of scientist was Archimedes?
Archimedes was a Physics Fluids Scientist. Dates: 287-212 BC. The description of his scientific law is the Principle of Displacement, when a body is totally or partially immersed in a fluid it experiences an upthrust equal to the weight of the fluid displaced. Principle of Flotation, when a body floats it displaces a weight of fluid equal its own weight.
Weight of the fluid displaced by the object?
Archimedes principle
What principle relates the weight of displaced fluid to the buoyant forces?
Archimedes' Principle
What phenomenon did Archimedes explain.?
Archimedes discovered that when an object floats in a liquid, it will displace a volume of that liquid which is equal in weight to the object.
Who stated the idea that buoyant force is equal to the weight of the displaced liquid?
According to Archimedes' principle, buoyant force is equal to the weight of the displaced liquid.
When the boat is fully loaded it floats lower in the water than when it is empty?
As per Archimedes principle for floating the weight of the displaced water has to be equal to the weight of the boat. Hence for more water to get displaced the boat has to sink more.
What will happen if the buoyant force of a fluid is less than the weight of an object placed in the fluid according to Archimedes' principle?
Then the object will sink.
How do you weight a ship?
Archimedes principle. See how much water it displaces.
