Ever wonder why ships don't just sink like a stone? Ever wondered how ships, even massive ones, are able to float on water? It all comes down to a simple but powerful concept: buoyancy. From Archimedes' Principle to the design of hulls and displacement theory, we will break down the physics that make it possible for ships to stay afloat.
