and iron nail sinks in water but a ship made of iron floats on water explain---
line by line
Answers
Answer:
an iron ship is hollow from inside thereby it swims on water whereas nail is not hollow and has concentrated mass hence it sinks
Answer:
Archimedes principle: The upward buoyant force that is exerted on a body immersed in a fluid, whether partially or fully submerged, is equal to the weight of the fluid that the body displaces and acts in the upward direction at the center of mass of the displaced fluid. The ship can float on the water because the hollow space in a ship can help in volume of water displaced by the ship is greater than its weight and the average density of the ship as a whole is less than the density of water. Whereas the weight of the water displaced by the iron nail is less than its weight and also Iron is denser than that of water. So the iron nail sinks
