Why Massive Cruise Ships Don't Sink Into The Ocean? [Buoyancy explained]
Source: Our analysis of the creator's lived experience, based on what they said in this video.
Creator's Key Takeaways
Buoyancy is the upward force exerted by water when an object is placed in it.
The larger the ship, the more water it pushes out of the way, and the greater the buoyant force acting on it.
Cruise ships also rely on something called ballast, special tanks filled with water or other materials placed in the bottom of the ship.
The reason cruise ships don't sink is because they're less dense than the water they're floating on.
