Answer / ash
a piece of iron sinks whereas a ship remains floating
because the surface of piece of iron in contact with the
water is less than compared to the surface of the ship.
therefore iron needle sinks but ship remains floating.

Answer / shreya
The density of water is 1.Substances with density less than that of water float in it while substances with density more than that of water sink in it.The density of an iron needle is more than 1, so it sinks in water. The density of an iron ship is less than 1, so it floats on water.

Answer / sanju
A piece of iron sinks in water because its weight is grater
than the weight of the water displaced by it, wile a ship
floats in water because the weight of water displaced by the
