How does a boat the size of a small city float?
In: Engineering
The way any boat floats- by being, on average, less dense than water.
As long as the weight of the boat is less than the weight of the water it displaces, it will float. It’s the same for a paper boat as it is for an aircraft carrier.
An aircraft carrier generally displaces about 100,000 tons of water. This means that as long as the total weight of the ship is less than that (and it definitely is), it will float
