RE: Archimedes' Principle explains why steel ships float
Nice one ones @greenrun, ship are able to float on the water/ sea due to Archimedes principle that volume of water displaced is less than the volume of the ship. I want to know this is the shape of the ship not
involve in the balancing of the ship in water as the shape of the ship would also affect the volume of water displaced.
The shape and architecture of the ship is built with making it float. The same way a plane has aerodynamic features to reduce air drag while flying is the same way a ship's design is made for effective floating. Thanks for reading.
