Question

If a freely floating ship has a weight of 5×10 to the power 5 newton,what will be the weight of water displaced bt the ship?

​

Answer 1

The weight of water displaced by the ship will be more than the weight of the freely floating ship i.e., 5*10^5 because it is built in such a way that the weight of the water displaced by the ship is more than its weight itself. So that it will not sink in seawater.
