Why is ship not sink in sea?

Because the weight of the water it displaces is more than the weight of the ship itself.============================Because the weight of the water it displaces exactly equals the weight of the shipitself. Think of the water that was originally occupying the place where the ship nowis. That water didn't sink because it was supported by the overall pressure frombelow. Putting the ship there means that the force balance is precisely the same.Remember, compared with solid iron, a ship is mostly empty space.

Why ship doenot sink in ocean?

Ships don't sink in the ocean because the air pressure pushes the ship upward and keeps it buoyant-------------------------------- Ships don't sink because the overall density of the ship is lower than the density of the salt water and it displaces its weight's equivalent of water using only a portion of the ship's volume.


Why do ships float on water but steel needles sink?

Buoyancy is based on average density, not the weight of the ship's hull. As it lowers into the water, the water displaced is lighter than the hull, but much heavier than the airinside the ship's hull. As long as the combined weight of the ship and its cargo is less than the water displaced by the hull, it will float. If, however, water fills the ship instead of air, the ship (as we all know) will sink.


Which is denser lobster or ship?
