Question

If a freely floating ship has a weight of 5×10^5N, what will be the weight of water displaced by the ship?

Answer 1

The weight of water displaced by the ship will be more than its own weight i.e., 5*10^5 because it is built in such a way that the weight of the water displaced by the ship is more than its weight itself. So that it will not sink in seawater. The Titanic ship was named as the never sinking ship
