Question

A piece of iron sinks in water but a large ship floats on water. Why? Give reason.

Answer 1

Answer:

As most of the space in the boat is taken up by air so it causes the overall density of boat to be lesser than that of water. Whereas, the density of the iron nail is more than that of water. Due to this the iron nail sinks while the boat floats on the surface of the water.
