  • Q1. Why stone sinks but ship doesn't
  • Ans. 

    Stone sinks due to its density while ship floats due to its shape and displacement.

    • Stone has a higher density than water, causing it to sink.

    • Ships are designed to displace water, creating an upward force that keeps them afloat.

    • The shape of the ship's hull also helps to distribute its weight and create buoyancy.
