Answer 1

║⊕ANSWER⊕║

• 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.
