why does a piece of stone sink in water but ship with a huge weight hoat?
Answers
The density of rock ( stone) is several times that of water - so the rock sinks - the water displaced is much less in mass than the mass of the stone. A large ship is composed mostly of air - the steel is just a shell - so the average density of the ship is less than that of water - so it floats.
Answer:
In terms of Archimedes’ principles, it had been stated that the density of the stone is great than the ship floats on the water but the stone sinks.
Explanation:
The air inside the ship has lesser dense than the volume of water and the shape of the ship’s outlook maintains the ship from drowning.
The universe’s force gravity pushes the boat downwards in the water at the same time the water gives the force upward which makes the boat float. Thus there is equal force of balance is been created and boat is stabilized.
Another reason is that ship is mostly made of wood as the wood density is lesser than the water the ship floats on the water.
Hence proved that ship floats on water rather than sinking as stone.
