A ship floats because the upward force of water (buoyancy) balances or exceeds the ship’s weight.

COUNTLESS FACTORS – GRAVITY, THE WEIGHT OF THE SHIP, ETC. OVERALL, IT’S SCIENCE. IT’S AMAZING HOW IT WORKS. IF YOU LOOK IT UP ON YOUTUBE ABOUT IT, IT WILL BLOW YOUR MIND!

1. *Displacement*: Ship pushes water aside, creating an upward force.
2. *Density*: Ship’s overall density is less than water’s.
3. *Archimedes’ Principle*: Weight of displaced water = weight of ship

Got it! Ships float due to buoyancy. The weight of the ship is counteracted by the upward force of the water it’s displacing. Archimedes’ Principle, body.
