Which everyday phenomenon explains why a ship made of steel can float despite steel being denser than water?

  • A The ship displaces a volume of water equal to its weight
  • B Steel is lighter than water
  • C Steel reacts with seawater to reduce density
  • D Ships contain compressed air making them float
Permalink
Correct Answer: Option A — The ship displaces a volume of water equal to its weight
Explanation: A steel ship floats because its hollow shape displaces a large volume of water whose weight equals the ship's weight satisfying Archimedes' principle even though steel itself sinks.
