The buoyancy force is the reason why ships float. It's a force equal to the weight of the water displaced by the volume. It ends up being a balancing act between the density of whatever you're trying to float and water. Big ships are mostly full of air, and air is less dense than water, so ships are, on average, less dense than water, so they float.

Do you weigh more, or less, than a duck?

I weigh more than a duck, they are pretyt small .

Metal is much more dense than water or air and ships are not airtight. So your "theory" isn't even logically consistent. Its sorcery.

Throw a piece of metal into the water. It instantly sinks.

The bottoms of ships are airtight you dumbass.

FIll your sink with water, take a glass and hold it right side up in the water so its halfway covered. You'll feel a force pushing the glass back up out of the water. If you let go itll fall over cause its got poo poo balance.

This is why boats look like baots becaUSE THEY ARE DESIGNED TO NOT FALL OVER LIKE A CUP

It's not about density, it is the amount of water being displaced creating buoyancy force.

As for evidence that sorcery exists, well, Donald Trump is the President of the United States of America.

hey idiot the density of an object tells you exactly how much water will be displaced

buoyancy force is directly proportional to density

Fb = dgv

d = density of the liquid
g = gravity
v = volume of the submerged object

idiot

Volume is and always will be the little bitch of physics. No one cares about how big or what shape your poo poo is, just give me the intrinsic qualities they are so much easier to work with. Fuckin scrub.

If you start with density you just have to solve for volume to get the buoyancy though so.... okay? Way to make it harder on yourself for no reason?

That's how you gently caress spells up man just do the simplest method.


How can you understand sorcery without understanding the underlying nature of the material plane?

jesus dude you use the MASS and the DENSITY

not loving volume christ

The equation is Fb = dgv - to solve for Fb, you need the volume of the object which you can derive from mass + density.

idk what you're arguing about exactly since we're saying the same fuckin' thing really.

lotta melt downs lately


fuckin nerd lol

ships are measured by displaced tonnage not by their mass/density

Im a physicist not an engineer shit4brains. AKA actual science

its like, this is the gay baby idiot physics that you learn in high school. poo poo, that you learn in introductory college courses. Really basic stuff that is the foundation of physics is things like gauss's law which does not give a gently caress about the size or shape or volume of whatever you're talking about. Its um uh that one theorem about conservative forces.

I let go of a rock. It falls down.

I let go of the moon. It doesn't fall.

Conclusion? Either the moon isn't a rock, or someone is holding it up. Both answers point to sorcery.

The moon orbits the earth due to the gravitational force between them.

Yes but if theres a constant attractive force between the two bodies they would eventually meet. Not spin around forever.

Obviously the moon hasn't crashed into earth so theres a repelling force balancing the gravitational force. Likely Sorcery.
