∙ 12y agoThe key to make a boat float is that the boat should weigh less (or have less mass) than the water it displaces.
The term for the depth of water needed to float a boat clear of the water is called the "draft" of the boat.
The size of the boat is equal to the water displaced by the boat. This means, if the boat is bigger then its weight, the boat will float. If the boat is smaller than its weight, it sinks. This is why metal ships are so big.
Yes, a paper boat can float on water as long as it is well-made and the paper is not too thin. The boat's ability to float depends on its design and the displacement of water.
wow that's sad a boat that can float is any tye of boat that doesnt have a hole in it
A boat floats in water due to the principle of buoyancy, where the weight of the water displaced by the boat is equal to the weight of the boat itself. To help a boat float, it needs a shape that displaces enough water to support its weight. The design of the boat, including its hull shape and materials used, all contribute to its ability to float effectively.
The term is impossible. A boat cannot float clear of the water.
yes. if there was still a gap for water to get in.. if you had fully covered the hole with no gaps. then it would stop the water coming in..... pail out what water there was in the boat. and it should not sink....
dig a trench under the middle of the bow, then fill it with water, and the boat should float again.

The shape of a boat affects its buoyancy and ability to float. A boat with a hull that displaces a greater volume of water will have more buoyancy and float higher in the water, whereas a boat with a shape that allows water to enter easily will sink. Additionally, the weight distribution and design of the boat also play a role in determining if it will sink or float.
