Best Answer

A ship that weighs 1,000 pounds displaces 1,000 pounds of water. Basically you are making a hole in the water that would take 1,000 pounds of water to fill, if it was Jell-O you could see the hole when you took the ship out. If you add 100 pounds of weight to the ship, be it feathers, foam, or lead, it will sink deeper and displace 100 more pounds of water.

A lower ship floats lower in the water than an empty ship because the loaded ship has more mass and weight so the ship is being pushed down and the empty ship is floating in the upper part because it is empty and as less mass and weight so eventually it will be floating up than the loaded ship.

It will float lower in the water regardless if the beach balls are inflated or not. The extra weight will effect the bouyancy of the ship.

there is a line on the side of the ship, as the cargo is loaded the ship sinks deeper into the water, when the the reaches the water, they must stop loading.

The computers are even smart enough to load containers that will be need first onto the top so they can be unloaded easier.

What thewhite line is called on the side of a ship?

The lines drawn around the hull of a ship near the water-line is called a "Plimsoll line". This horizontal line is easily seen when the ship is empty and therefore riding higher out of the water. The more cargo loaded into ship the deeper it sinks into the water, and a ship can only be loaded with cargo etc down to this line and no furthur. Before its introduction there was no safe-loading-line on a vessel to prevent overloading by unscrupulous owners.
