Explanation:
As the density of an iron nail is more than that of water, the nail sinks in water. The volume of water displaced is much greater than the volume of the iron ship. Hence, according to Archimedes' principle, the upthrust is more than the weight of the ship. That is why the iron ship floats in water.

Answer:
This can be explained as follows: A ship is made up of iron and steel, but it has a lot of space filled with air. This causes the ship to displace water with a weight equal to the weight of the ship. On the other hand, the needle displaces more water than its weight and hence it sinks.
