The air that is inside a ship is much less dense than water. That's what keeps it floating! As a ship is set in water, it pushes down and displaces an amount of water equal to its weight.
- Can boats float upside down?
Liquid can levitate and boats can float upside down in this gravity-defying physics experiment. They have discovered a peculiar phenomenon that allows lightweight objects to float on the bottom surface of this liquid, with a kind of reverse-buoyancy.
