Displacement, you dumb shit.

>>716876804
Explain physically it's not making any sense

>>716876786
THIS IS IMPORTANT CMON SOMEONE NEED TO KNOW THE ANSWER

>>716877225
The weight of the ship is supported by it's large surface area. The surface area is supported by the waters surface tension.

>>716877225
Try pushing a bowl into a bath tub bottom first. See how much force you have to use to get it under the water? All the water around it is pushing back at you.

Thanks, plausible

There is air inside steel
I figured it out guys

>>716877846
This guy gets it
The steel is foamy inside like an Aero bar. So it floats
If you bite through a piece you'll see the bubbles

They hollow out the bottom of the boat and put some helium in it, but not like, enough to make it fly away.
Come on guys, this isn't rocket science.
It's boat science.

>>716876539
Magnets
How the fuck do they work anyway

>>716878095
The magnet is on top of the boat pulling it up.

>>716876539
action reaction you cunt...

>>716876539
Same way a boat made of cement floats. Go back to school.

have you not played fucking pokemon

I see clearly now! It's like a carrot on a stick, but instead it is a magnet ontop of a ship. Like, the force proprelling the donkey forward is hunger, but instead of that its magentism.

>>716877995
You're stupid its because of the moons gravity

>>716878241
>a boat made of cement floats

Of course it does dear.

>>716878095
magnets have two genders:
Positive and Negative
Unlike us they have absolutely no standards and are much more likely to get involved with each other.
When ever two of opposite genders get near each other they go for each other like a Migrant and a German Woman, and it's very hard to pry them apart because they are balls deep on a molecular level.
Unlike OP however magnets are not raging faggots and do not like magnets of the same gender, in fact they will actively force push themselves away if you try to make them fuck.

>>716876539
Hahaha! Are you serious, lad? Oh, dear......

the average density of the ship is lower than the average density of the liquid it floats in - caused by the air inside the ship, obviously

>>716878632

>>716878709
but surely all of the denseness from the stuff on the ship would push it down.

>>716876871
Yes it is, the waterpressure from all sides keeps it up

The ships are made from steel that doesnt drown

All electrons are like small magnets. Usually all the electrons around the atoms in a piece of matter, say a cat or a brick, pull in different directions, cancelling out each other. In a magnet, all the electrons pull in the same direction, making the effect so strong that it attaches to other metals (which has a lot of positively charged atoms).

>>716876539
What determines if an object floats is it's density. If you put something in water, for instance, it will float as long as the weight of the object is less than the water it displaces. Since a ship is just a metal frame with a lot of air in it, it weighs less than the water it displaces. This means that it has a combined lower density than the water. This is the same reason hot air balloons float, because heating up air makes it expand. This means that the heated air trapped in the balloon now weighs the same, but takes up a larger volume. This logically means it is less dense than the surrounding gas, and therefor floats.
A iron ingot floats on mercury because it's less dense than the mercury at room temperature, for the same reasons.

>>716878881
yes, but it will not make it sink though

>>716879130
>>716878709
this

>>716879130
But an iron bowl has no air in it: it is an open structure. The density of the bowl is that of iron.

>>716878992
Some of those were meant to be funny and some were correct. Kys

>>716879371
and yet it floats.

>Unlike us they have absolutely no standards

>>716879371
>>716879477
it floats because it has a open structure. A ship frame of only the hull and plates floates too. The same principe of the lower density caused by the air "inside" still counts

An exact replica of that ship and all its cargo made entirely of surface-level sea water would be heavier than the ship and its cargo as they are. Thus, it floats.

>>716879130
It weighs exactly as much as the water it displaces; thus it exists in a stable state.

look up capillary action

>>716879371
No, it's not. As long as it isn't toppled over, the iron bowl will contain air. A floating iron bowl will displace more water than the volume of just the metal structure. Say that this bowl is very buoyant, that it barely skips the surface. If you press it down into the water, not enough to let the water slip into the bowl, you will feel that it gets MORE buoyant, because it increases the effective volume drastically, but the amount of iron in the water is fairly close to the start position. That's the key here.

You people can't play this Santa game forever. OP was going to find out eventually anyway.

The secret is legs. Boats have legs, OP. Really long legs. With extensions and shit.

>>716876539
Because steel floats on water

neither Aquaman, (sissy) nor Posidon/Neptune want it in their crib , so they boner it up

>>716879715
Yes, this is true, but simply because we assume it sits perfectly on the surface. A floating boat will not use its full volume in the water, since that would make it prone to sink. The amount of water it *can* displace is heavier, but in a stable state it will be equal, yes.

Magic, a Hogwarts trained wizard is part of the crew every steel ship. You can find him in the hold saying Floatissimus Maximus throughout the voyage. Wizards having heart attacks is why we have the Bermuda Triangle

>>716880311
Agreed, well put.
The long legs are just there for backup. Amirite?

>>716876539
It displaces lots of water. L2physics.

Water can't float steel beams

I need a definitive answer for the thread, it's too complicated for a literally retarded person like me :

>>716882345
it literally works on faith in the models of modern physics that is why nobody is allowed to question it. try telling a scientist that the world is flat and he wont stop laughing in your face until you leave the room. he is laughing at you because if you stop believing in their magical formulas and calculations it would all fall apart within seconds. dont even bother trying to really understand it because nobody does and thats why it works

The ship is lighter than the water it displaces, because 1) it's hollow, and 2) there's a lot of ship below the surface of the ocean.

>>716876539
Steel is made of iron, which is very magnetic. The iron in the earth's core makes the earth's magnetic field which pushes against the magnetic field in ships and makes them float.

>>716876539
Because steel is more water resistant than iron.

simple: vertical propellers

the red propellers keep the boat uplifted

the green propller pushed it forward

withough red propellors the boak sinks

>because sea water cant melt steel ships

>>716876539
The containers are filled with helium.

>>716876539
Its full of jet fuel, which is lighter than water

>>716888887
so close

>>716877461

no. water pressure intensifies with depth. water tension barely keeps a water strider afloat.

its simple, didnt they teach you faggots in school?

boats, especially new are very big
cover a lot of surface area
bubbles released by fish and other sea vermin get caught under boat
boat floats

Honestly someone explain this to me in really really simple language

big heavy object doesn't sink? it makes no fucking sense. im not trolling, i dont know what's going on

>>716890302
It has air inside the steel

>>716888652
right boat is how they invented submarine

That makes sense, every time I throw a brick at a cat, it seems to miss, I assume it must be the electrons pushing the cat out of the way.

No mate, specifically with cats you have the Schrodinger stuff going on messing with your aim.

>>716876539
Basically the bottom of ships are concave and as such, hold a large pocket of air. This pocket of air acts as a barrier between the ship and the water, thus making the ship float.

>>716876539
How does a float made of ship steel?

because anything will float that displaces more water weight than its own weight


you fucktards
