In this episode of Things Explained, we discuss how a tiny paper clip sinks in water but a cargo ship weighing 250,000 tons floats. We also explain what density, buoyancy, and a man named Archimedes have to do with this science phenomenon.

I love your videos keep it up!
Yeet no 5
My eureka moment came to me when I discovered how to tell the difference between a female ant and a male ant. You simply drop the ant in water. If it sinks girl ant, if it floats…
Ships are able to float because the concentration air per square inch contained within the vessels are less dense than the water that it displaces per square inch.
Now I know why cargo ships can float
Heavier objects have greater gravitational force.
But they don’t put cork in the bottom to make it float.
what about the fortnite boats?
Now, what keeps it upright?
Finally a little video that explains it well for my students without silly cartoons and talking too fast like all the others. Thank you so much for sharing!!!
