Question

why do the heavy iron ship float while the light iron nail sink on the water

Answer 1

$\huge\pink{\mid{\fbox{\tt{ANSWER}}\mid}}$

As most of the space in the boat is taken up by air so it causes the overall density of boat to be lesser than that of water. Whereas, the density of the iron nail is more than that of water. Due to this the iron nail sinks while the boat floats on the surface of the water.

Answer 2

Cause that heavy iron ship has a lot of air inside it which helps it in floating and where as a iron nail has no air so it sinks.
