Explanation:
According to the principle of floatation an object will float in a liquid if the weight of object is equal to the weight of liquid displaced by it . A floating object may be partly or totally submerged in a liquid . The liquid is displaced by that portion of the object which is submerged under liquid .
A Boat is kept afloat by an upward force of water . This upward force is called buoyant force .
It is caused by the pressure of water pushing up on the bottom of the boat.
When a Boat is gradually lowered into the water it is places more and more water due to which the upward buoyant force increases.
The boat stops sinking down into water when the buoyant force acting on it is just enough to support the weight of the boat.
Now, Archimedes' principle says that the buoyant force is equal to the weight of the liquid displaced by the boat.
So when a boat is floating the weight of water displaced by the submerged part of the boat is equal to the weight of the boat .
