Question

Ship made of iron floats on water.How​

Answer 1

Answer:

Hello Dear

Explanation:

The density of nail (as of iron) is much larger than the water. So it sinks easily. The weight of the water displaced by the ship is equal to its weight, so it floats. Whereas the weight of the water displaced by the iron nail is less than its weight so the iron nail sinks.

hope this helps u :)

Answer 2

A steel bar dropped into water sinks, but a boat made of steel floats. ... Because most of the space in a boat is taken up by air. Taken as a whole, this makes the boat much less dense than the steel bar, and even less dense than water. Objects of lesser density float on liquids of greater density.
