Question

when an iron nail displaced on the surface of water it sinks whereas ship made up of iron floats​

Answer 1

IT DEPENDS ON DENSITY. WHEN A CERTAIN OBJECT IS PLACED ON WATER. IF IT'S DENSITY IS LESS THAN THE WATER IT FLOATS AND IF MORE THAN WATER IT SINKS. IN CASE OF NEEDLE THE DENSITY IS MORE THAN WATER. SO IT SINKS.

ANOTHER FACTOR DECIDING THIS IS SURFACE AREA. THE WEIGHT OF THE SHIP IS UNIFORMLY DISTRIBUTED ACROSS A LARGE AREA. SO IT IS ABLE TO FLOAT.

BUT IN CASE OF NEEDLE THE CONCENTRATION OF WEIGHT IS SO HIGH. SO IT SINKS.

Answer 2

Answer:

due to density

Explanation:

iron nail sinks because it more denser when compared to density of water whereas ship floats because it send ultrasonic radiations into the sea called Sonar( sound navigation and ranging
