It's hard to describe. The easiest way to say it, is that the weight is offset. Archimedes' principle sates that any FLOATING object displaces its own weight of fluid.

How does buoyancy affects a boat?

Buoyancy affects a boat by keeping it "on" the water, not "under" the water.


How does an iron boat float?

Buoyancy!


How can buoyancy be demonstrated?

buoyancy can be demonstrated if you float something because buoyancy is when something floats for example a boat floating in water


How do you use the buoyancy on a boat?

By putting it in water.


What is the fullform of boat?

Buoyancy Operated Aquatic Transport


How do you calculate the buoyancy of a cardboard boat?

To calculate the buoyancy of a cardboard boat, you need to determine the weight of the water displaced by the boat. This can be calculated by multiplying the volume of the submerged part of the boat by the density of water. The buoyant force acting on the boat is equal to the weight of the water displaced.


What does the hull do on a boat?

Basically, the hull on a boat keeps out the water, and displaces the water to create buoyancy, which enables the boat to float.


What force keeps a boat balanced?

The force that keeps a boat balanced is called buoyancy. Buoyancy is the upward force exerted by a fluid that opposes the weight of an object placed in the fluid, in this case, the boat. As long as the boat displaces enough water to support its weight, it will remain balanced and afloat.


What force does a boat use?

up thrust gravity buoyancy density


Does gravity allow a boat to float on water?

Without gravity, a boat wouldn't be able to float on water, so yes, gravity allows a boat to float (as well as sink into) water. A boat floats from buoyancy force. The buoyancy force is from the volume of water it displaces with it's shape below the water. The buoyancy force is equal to the volume of water it displaces multiplied by 62.4 lbs. per cubic foot (the density of water). So if the boat displaces 20 cubic feet of water with it's hull or shape it can hold 20 x 62.4 = 1248 lbs. of self weight plus cargo. Obviously there should be a factor of safety on that. In summary, a boat needs two things to float on water: Gravity and buoyancy force. Gravity keeps the boat on the water in the first place, but the buoyancy force is the actual thing that keeps the boat afloat. Technically, it is the buoyancy force that allows a boat to float, but if you want to get really technical, it is gravity in the first place that allows a boat to float on water.


You push the boat down what can you feel?

Your question is unclear but if you push the boat down you will feel resistance due to the buoyancy.


What floats your boat?

There are two answers:Water provides the buoyancy necessary to float boats.Things that I enjoy doing are what "float my boat".
