Why does a ship float but stone sink in water:-

A small stone when dropped into the water would sink immediately. But if a block of steel weighing thousands of tonnes were made into a ship, it would float. Any obje ct placed in water experiences two forces:-

gravity, which pulls it down because of its mass.

The buoyancy force, or upthrust, which

pushes it up.

When these forces are balanced, the object floats. The buoyancy force of a stone is much smaller than its gravity force, which is why the stone sinks (although the buoyancy force makes the stone sink slower than it would do through the air).A ship also experiences these two forces.But because of its body design, which contains a lot of air, it displaces (pushes aside} enough water so that the buoyancy force is equal to its gravity force.
