RE: Archimedes' Principle explains why steel ships float

in #stemng7 years ago (edited)


involve in the balancing of the ship in water as the shape of the ship would also affect the volume of water displaced.Nice one ones @greenrun, ship are able to float on the water/ sea due to Archimedes principle that volume of water displaced is less than the volume of the ship. I want to know this is the shape of the ship not

Sort:  

The shape and architecture of the ship is built with making it float. The same way a plane has aerodynamic features to reduce air drag while flying is the same way a ship's design is made for effective floating. Thanks for reading.
