Question

II. When the boat is fully loaded, it floats lower in water then when it is empty. Explain why this
happens?​

Answer 1

Answer:

When a ships hold is full of cargo it floats lower in the water because there is less trapped air making it denser. Likewise a ship empty of cargo has more trapped air so it's less dense and it floats higher out of the surrounding water. If the ship loses enough of its capacity to hold trapped air, it sinks.
