How does a boat the size of a small city float?
In: Engineering
It floats because as big as it is, and as much steel as its made out of, it still weighs less/the same as an equivalent volume of water it displaces.
Water.. is heavy. Solid steel is heavier, but a hollow steel box is – comparatively – way less heavy than an equivalent solid steel or block of water. Ergo… it floats.
