Do you look at enormous ships out at sea and wonder how it is possible that they can float?
This video explains how big ships float, giving an introduction to both buoyancy and flotation.
The basic concept is quite simple. Ships need to displace enough water to counter their own weight. If they weigh more than they displace, they will sink. If they displace the same as they weigh, they will float.

I still don’t get it

"maximum amoun- amount of water"
Answered every question I had!
Kilograms are units of mass, not weight. Weight is a force that is measured in newtons. Here on Earth, one kilogram weighs 9.81 newtons.
Because, if it did not float it would not be called a ship, rather, it would be called an artificial reef.
Bruh, you used a lot of words and time but never really answered the question lol
Ok
Water is very heavy if it was less dense, boats would sink too easy to be able to be used
Okay maybe I'm just an idiot but I swear the calculation of the brick is wrong. The volume comes out at 0.001m cubed which is a millimeter. A brick with those dimensions does not have a millimeter cubed of volume? If we work with the centimetre measurements, we have 20x10x5=1000. 1000cm is 10m. So we have 10m cubed not 0.001m cubed. So why when calculating in two different units of measurement do you ultimately get two different number of metres cubed after any necessary conversions? Someone please explain this to me I'm baffled and no one else has said this so I'm wondering if I'm just missing something incredibly obvious. 😅
U can give me the most simple scientific explanation everytime and I will still look at u like your crazy… 😂 a ship thats the size of my town floating just doesnt make sense fam 😂
