The Volume of steel used should always be less than the volume of ship made out of it.
The ratio could differ and hence there may be no specific ratio.
The greater the (Ratio of Volume of ship:Ratio of Volume of steel used) say 3:1
that means the ship can carry about 2 times the volume of the steel used.
That means the water displaced would be 3 times volume of steel hence the water is applying the force on ship is 3 times weight of steel.

How can you find displacement of a metal in 50 mL of water when given the mass?
Place the piece of metal in 50mL of water and subtract the 50mL from the new volume of water. The difference will be the volume of the metal in mL and cm3. Then find the density by dividing the mass by the volume of the metal. The water must completely cover the metal in order for the displacement method of determining the volume to work.
What is the density of a 25g piece of metal that has a volume of 10 cm cubed?
density = mass/volume,so the density of your metal is:25/10 = 2.5g/cm3 (grams per cm cubed)
What are 4 physical properties of a piece of aluminum foil?
Malleable, brittle, ductile
What would make a better reflector a piece of metal or a piece of wood?
Metal
What does a g clamp look like?
its a piece of curved metal with another piece of metal going through it at the top
How do you measure the density of a metal?
-- Get a pure piece of it. The size of the piece doesn't matter. -- Measure the mass of the piece. -- Measure the volume of the piece. -- The density of the substance is mass of the piece/volume of the piece.
What is the density of a piece of metal that has a volume of 10cm3 and a mass of 500g?
Volume = mass/volume = 500g/10cm3 = 50g/cm3
How much does a piece of metal weigh?
That would vary greatly depending on the type and density of the metal, along with the dimensions of the particular piece. The weight of a piece of anything is the volume times the density.
What are physical properties of a piece of aluminum foil?
A piece of aluminum foil has a fixed mass and volume, it is flexible, and it is a metal that can conduct electricity.

What is the density of a piece of metal mass of 68g volume of 6cm3?

How does a piece of metal in a graduated cylinder of water allows you to figure out the volume?
The reading on the graduated scale is taken before and after the metal is lowered into the cylinder . The second reading is subtracted from the first. This gives the volume of the metal in cubic centimetres.
A piece of metal with a mass of 163 g is placed in a 50 mL graduated cylinder The water level rises from 20 mL to 36 mL What is the density of the metal?
The volume of the piece of metal is measured by the difference in the volume of water in the graduated cylinder before and after the piece of metal is placed in the cylinder. This is stated to be 36 - 20 = 16 mL. Density is defined to be mass per unit volume. Therefore, for this piece of metal the density is 163/16 = 10 g/mL. (Only two significant digits are justified, because the is the number of significant digits in the limiting datum 16.)
What is the density of a 25g piece of metal that has a volume of 10 cm cubed?
density = mass/volume,so the density of your metal is:25/10 = 2.5g/cm3 (grams per cm cubed)
A piece of metal has a mass of 200 g and a volume of 40 cm3 What is its specific gravity?
5g/cm3
What is the density of a 25 gram piece of metal that has a volume of 10 cm cube?
Density= mass/volume 25/10 = 2.5 g/cm3
A piece of metal was gently lowered into a measuring cylinder containing water.The level of water was at 20 cubic metre mark, what is the volume of metal?
20cm3
