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.

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 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.
density = mass/volume,so the density of your metal is:25/10 = 2.5g/cm3 (grams per cm cubed)
Malleable, brittle, ductile
It could sink. (The metal's density is greater than water.) It could turn into a ball of flames. (If you dropped a chunk of sodium into graduated cylinder, it would react with flames or sparks.)
-- 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.
Volume = mass/volume = 500g/10cm3 = 50g/cm3
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.
The volume of the metal can be calculated by measuring the volume of water displaced after the metal was placed in the cylinder. If the water level rose to the 25 cubic meter mark after the metal was added, then the volume of the metal is 5 cubic meters.
The density of the metal is 11.33 g/cm3. This is calculated by dividing the mass (68g) by the volume (6 cm3).
A piece of aluminum foil has a fixed mass and volume, it is flexible, and it is a metal that can conduct electricity.
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.

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.
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.)
The density of the metal can be calculated using the formula: Density = Mass / Volume. In this case, Density = 277g / 38cm3 = 7.29 g/cm3.
To obtain the density you need to know the mass, and the volume of the object.So you'd have to weigh it using a balance to obtain the mass.The easiest way to measure the volume (particularly if it's an irregular shape) would be via the displacement of water.density = mass / volume
