Question

wooden logs are very small but ships are huge but still both manage to float on water why?​

Answer 1

The substance like wood and big body like ship tendency to float depends on the overall density of material. In chemistry one defined density of a material as the mass divided by the volume of the material. Since density of a wooden piece is less than water therefore it floats over water similarly the density of a ship is mass of the ship divided by the volume of the ship where the volume of the ship is so huge that the density becomes less than the density of water. Thus, Wooden logs are very small whereas ships are huge but still both manage to float on water.

Answer 2

Answer:

The average density of the ship and wood is less than the average density of water.
