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.

Answer:
the density of iron is more than the density of water therefore the weight of the nail is more than the upthrust experienced by it causing it to sink. ... Thus even with a small portion of the ship submerged under water, the weight of the water displaced by it becomes equal to the weight of the entire ship
