How ships floats on water?

Question

How ships floats on water?

Answer 1

buoyancy

Answer 2

Buoyancy is the upward force on an object produced by the surrounding liquid or gas in which it is fully or partially immersed, due to the pressure difference of the fluid between the top and bottom of the object. The net upward buoyancy force is equal to the magnitude of the weight of fluid displaced by the body. This force enables the object to float.

If you add too much weight, people or cargo, the boat will displace more water, freeboard will decease to zero (0) and the vessel will now sink.

An object, or boat, can displace water and still sink. A boat can have poor stability and still float, at least in calm waters.

Answer 3

The amount of water that they displace weighs more than the boat itself... So they float.
