Hello Mate!!

Answer:-

  • Ships float on water and iron nail sinks on water , it is because of the density of both of these things

As density of iron is more than the density of water , so the weight of the nail is more than the upthrust experienced by it , causing the nail to

sink.

However , the ship floats because the ship is hollow from inside and this hollow space is filled with air , thus reducing average density of the ship.
