What happens when a load is removed from a ship which is

floating on water? Why?

Ans: When a load is removed from a ship, the ship floats more on water.

It is because when the load of the ship is decreased, it can float by

displacing less amounts of water. Thus the boat rises up from its

original position.

What is the effect of density of liquid on the floatation of an

object?

Ans; The density of liquid is directly proportional to the upthrust.

Hence, an object floats easily if the density of liquid is high.

The loaded ship sinks more than the empty ship,why?

Ans; To float on water, the weight of ship should be equal to the weight

of water displaced by it. When weight is increased un the ship it

should displace more water to be floated. Therefore, the loaded ship

sinks more than the empty ship.
