Answer:
When any boat displaces a weight of water equal to its own weight, it floats. This is often called the "principle of flotation": A floating object displaces a weight of fluid equal to its own weight. Every ship, submarine, and dirigible must be designed to displace a weight of fluid at least equal to its own weight.

Answer:
When a body floats with its volume partially above the liquid surface, the volume of the liquid displaced by the body is equal to the volume of submerged portion of the body. Since the body is in equilibrium, the force of buoyancy acting on the body must be equal to its weight. This is known as the law of floatation.
