Why Don’t Massive Ships Sink? 🚢

have you ever wondered how a massive ship Glides gracefully over the water it might seem like a miracle that such a large structure can float without sinking however this phenomenon can be explained by a simple yet effective principle of physics Archimedes is principle according to this principle when an object is submerged in water an upward force equal to the weight of the displaced water is generated ships stay afloat thanks to this Force as long as the ship's weight and the buoyant force of the water are inbalance the ship will not sink ship designs also adhere to this principle a wide and flat bottom structure creates more surface area on the water which provides greater buoyant support for the ship this is why even ships weighing thousands of tons can safely move on the water thanks to this wonderful Harmony between the laws of physics and Engineering ships have been navigating the Seas for centuries
