How does a boat the size of a small city float?
In: Engineering
Since it’s so big it displaces a *lot* of water, so even though it’s heavy it’s still less dense than the water it displaces and it stays afloat. When it comes to floating what matters isn’t size but overall density of the object. Aircraft carriers float because they are big but mostly hollow, while tiny pebbles sink because they are solid.
