Why boats float on water instead of sink as they are made up of metal?

Answered by tushar8138

the boats do not sink in the water because the shape of the boats from the depth is such that it provide a huge amount of upthrust from water which is helpful to bear the weight of the ship

Answer:

Water supports a boat by pushing upwards on the bottom of the boat and therefore it does not sink. This is known as upthrust. The shape of a boat plays an important role in floating.

If you rolled some modelling clay / play dough in the shape of a ball it would sink; but if you mold it into the shape of a boat it should float.
