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.
When a piece of metal cools it will do what?
When a piece of metal cools, it will contract or shrink in size. This happens because the atoms in the metal lose kinetic energy and move closer together, leading to a decrease in volume. Cooling can also change the metal's properties, such as making it harder or more brittle.
What is the density of a 25g piece of metal that has a volume of 10 cm cubed?
The density of the metal can be calculated by dividing the mass (25g) by the volume (10 cm^3). Therefore, the density of the metal is 2.5 g/cm^3.
What are 4 physical properties of a piece of aluminum foil?
Malleable, brittle, ductile
What are some things that can happen if you drop a piece of metal into a graduated cylinder partially filled with water?
If you drop a piece of metal into a graduated cylinder partially filled with water, the water level will rise due to displacement of water by the metal. This can be used to determine the volume of the metal piece.
