Explain why an iron needle sink and a ship made of iron not sink

Answer» An object will float if it can DISPLACE the amount of WATER that would EQUAL its weight. The amount of water a needle displaces is very little and thus is not greater than the weight of the needle. The ship, because it is not solid displaces enough water to equal it's weight, so it FLOATS.
