Do you look at enormous ships out at sea and wonder how it is possible that they can float?
This video explains how big ships float, giving an introduction to both buoyancy and flotation.
The basic concept is quite simple. Ships need to displace enough water to counter their own weight. If they weigh more than they displace, they will sink. If they displace the same as they weigh, they will float.

The coin is heavier than a ship, because it sinks, a classic joke
I can't believe nobody here is upset over him describing 1kg as a force and not a weight. Multiply that weight by 9,81m/s^2 to make it a force.
1kg is mass not weight
Tell that to the anti gravity flat earther
Who else came here for their science/math class?!
Oh God,,,,can you make it more simple? 🤦♀️
Wow superb explanation, thanks a lot, it cleared many of my doubts
TL;DW Ship is lighter than the water it displaces -> it floats
Kilograms are units of mass, not weight. Weight is a
Because, if it did not float it would not be called a ship, rather, it would be called an artificial reef.
I'm still lost but hey, whatever floats ur boat
Your work really stands out. Content is great, delivery is pleasing and relaxing. Excellent work! Thank you 😊👍
I already knew everything in this video but was still entertained. The skill and creativity of independent creators never fails to amaze.
I have only ever been on a catamaran for 4 hours as a tourist but, your videos got me interested in shipping.
You should have been my math, physics or geometry teacher! You'd have made my life so much easier! 👍
it's always interesting with you, your presentation is fun to follow and it is so good, please keep up the good work.
Aaaand I'm never using the imperial system ever again.
You should make videos more often. They are very informative.
Really amazing...superb explaination...thanks a lot for throwing enough light of knowledge on us....
Such a solid but underrated video. Surprised it doesn’t have more views but I learned a lot more than expected here!
