On what is the sailboat floating |
|
Answer» Explanation: Archimedes' principle, which explains the CONCEPT of buoyancy, STATES that in order for an object to float, it must displace an amount of water equal to its WEIGHT. As a sailboat's weight pushes downward and DISPLACES water beneath it, an upward FORCE equal to that weight holds the boat up. |
