Why Do Ships Float?

The video features a conversation between a character and Squid, who is annoyed by a cruise ship floating above. Squid wonders why such a heavy object can float. The explanation involves the concept of displacement, where an object pushes aside water equal to its weight. This is demonstrated with examples like ice cubes in water and a bowl with rocks. Ships are designed to displace a lot of water due to their shape and hollow structure, allowing them to float despite their size.
