A boat floats because the fluid in which it is floating counterbalances the downward pull of gravity and pushes it up.

The steamboat experiment that was conducted was very successful because of the knowledge of the combined ideas of hydrodynamics, thermochemistry, thermodynamics, gas laws, electrochemistry, and the behavior of metals. These ideas allowed us to make the steamboat as best as it can be and made the steamboat perform at its optimal level.

The name for this force, which allows even large objects to float in liquid, is commonly known as buoyancy. A solid object's density determines whether or not the buoyant force of a liquid can lift it. The density of an object depends upon its mass and its volume (Density=mass/volume). Given two solid objects that have different volumes, but have the same mass, the smaller object is the denser of the two. For example, in our steamboat laboratory experiment, the mass of the steamboat was around 1000 grams, the volume was 263 cm3, and the density was 3.8 g/cm3. If the boat was smaller, it would have a smaller volume, and thus the density would be greater. Fluids also have density. When an object is placed in the fluid, it pushes aside some of the liquid and, if its density is greater than that of the fluid it displaces, it will sink and, if not, it will float.

The motion of the steam boat in water can be explained by Newton’s three laws of motion. Newton’s first law of motion states that an ob
