If the buoyant force is greater than the force of gravity acting on a ship, what will happen to the ship?

  • Correct Answer: it will explode
  • it will sink
  • it will bobble
  • it will float

Explanation: Now look at the ship’s hull in the Figure above . Its shape causes the ship to displace much more water than the ball. In fact, the weight of the displaced water is greater than the weight of the ship. As a result, the buoyant force is greater than the force of gravity acting on the ship, so the ship floats.
