Archimedes principle led to the Plimsoll Line, which is marks painted near the bows of a ship. Basically, a ship on salt water floats higher and can carry more cargo. While a ship on fresh water will float lower and can safely carry less cargo. Samual Plimsoll introduced the Plimsoll Line to solved the hazard of capsizing posed by overloading a ship.

What is Archimedes principle Explain hot it enables heavy ships to float?
Archimedes' principle states that the buoyant force acting on an object is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object. This principle enables heavy ships to float by pushing aside an amount of water equal to the weight of the ship, thus creating an upward buoyant force that balances the weight of the ship and keeps it afloat.
