Why Boat Floats
Do you ever wonder why a boat floats and a rock doesn't? Well I do.
A Boat floats because of buoyancy and it remains lighter than the amount of water it displaces. Buoyancy is an interesting topic. Buoyancy can happen in any fluid and air.
The buoyant force applies not just to water but to any fluid...A fluid is a substance that is able to take the shape of a container in which it is placed.” The source of this information is http://blackbirdlibrary.pbworks.com/w/file/fetch/70171466/dFlaoting. Liquids are way more dense than water like cooking oil and salt water. All gases are less dense than water, for instance their buoyant force is less. Buoyancy is measured in Newtons. Buoyant force was made by a guy named King Hiero the
