A ship that is made of iron floats in water whereas an iron nail sinks. Why? (Hint: Recall the property of density) Enable Ginger Cannot connect to Ginger Check your internet connection or reload the browser Disable in this text field Edit Edit in Ginger Edit in Ginger ×

Materials sink or float based on their density. The density of the nail is much larger than the water so it sinks easily. The weight of the water displaced by the ship is equal to its weight, so it floats. Whereas the weight of the water displaced by the iron nail is less than its weight, so the iron nail sinks. If it is less than the water it floats and if more than the water it sinks.
