Answer:
Density of the ship :133.33 kg/m³
Mass of the ship :50,000,000 kg
Ships are able to float on water because they displace a volume that equals their own weight
Explanation:
The formula for density is ;
Density = Mass/Volume
But the mass of displaced fluid is give by the formula;
m=ρV where ρ is density of the fluid and V is volume of water displaced
Volume of liner= 375000 m³
Volume displaced = 50000 m³
The volume of the water displaced is equal to mass of the liner
I m³ = 1000 kg
50000 m³ = 50000*1000 =50,000,000 kg
50,000,000 kg ----------mass of the ship
So if ;
m= 50,000,000 kg
v= 375000 m³
ρ = m/V
ρ = 50,000,000/375000
ρ = 50,000,000/375000
ρ =133.33 kg/m³
Ships are able to float on water because they displace a volume that equals their own weight. Additionally, the air contained in the spaces of the ship inside is much less dense than density of water aiding in the floating process.
