![]() The weight of the object and the buoyancy applied by the water are equal. If the density of the object is the same density as the water, the whole object will sink into the water, but it will not settle to the bottom and will be suspended. With the effect of this pushing force resulting from density differences, the body begins to float. Water pushes the objects having density less than their density towards the surface. The ship floats because its density is less than that of water. The stone sinks because its density is greater than that of water. Have you ever wondered why a tiny stone sinks, but a vessel, 1,200 feet long, 216 feet wide, 252 feet high and weighing 227,000 tons, could remain on the water surface? How do ships float? How are ships they made ?Īrchimedes gave us the answer about 2,250 years ago and this answer was simple – the lifting force of water.
