How do boats float?

How do boats float?


Boats come in all shapes and size, from small canes to giant supertankers. A boat pushes away a certain amount of the water bebeath it. The water pushes back aganist the boat with an upward force, called buoyancy, which is equal to the weight of the displaced water. This upwards force keeps the boat floating.
