The answer of your question is in Archimedes' principle
AUG 07 (WTN) – Many times you may think that a lightweight thing like a needle does not sink; it gets dip into the water, but many huge heavy water ships float in the sea? Iron needle immediately drowns in the water, but the ships of water float form one continent to another continent. Let us calm down your curiosity.
Actually the theory of the great scientific Archimedes works behind the sinking of the needle and floating of the ship. Let's first tell you what is the principle of Archimedes? According to Archimedes' principle, when an object is submerged partially or completely in a liquid, its weight virtually decreases. The virtual reduction in load is equal to the fluid removed by the object.
Now you might be wondering, what is the relation between the needles’ drowning and the ship's floating with the Archimedes' principle? Indeed, when the needle is put in the water then the weight of the water removed by the needle is less than the needle, therefore the needle is submerged. While the weight of the water removed by the iron ship is greater than the weight of the ship, so the ship continues swimming.
