What’s the best design to float your boat? by bertina banks, july 2, 2009 grade level. middle school; category. (the best boat design will carry the heaviest load) sketch the shape. reshape the clay. be sure to use the same amount of clay. put your new clay boat in the water. mark the water level. measure the change and record. g. They begin by designing and building boats out of clay that will float in water, and then refine their designs so that their boats will carry as great a load (metal washers) as possible. building a clay boat to hold as much weight as possible is an engineering design problem.. The best shape for a clay boat? my son is doing a project for science and he has to make a boat out of cay(2 sticks) and it has to float. not only does it have to float it also has to hold pennys. whoever has the most pennys on their bost without sinking wins. i wanted to know what is the best shape for the boat. remember he only....
Whether your boat has a large engine or a small one, one bunk or a dozen cabins, a gourmet galley or a one-burner stove, there is nothing — absolutely nothing — that will make as much difference to your boating pleasure as the design of your hull. this may come as a surprise to many boat buyers. Thus, the buoyant force was equal {or greater} than the gravitational force and the clay boat floated. in addition to the shape of the clay boat helping displace a lot of water, the boat was also filled with air. this decreased the clay boats density, helping the boat to float.. Will the "mass of steel (clay) hull" = "mass of clay ball" since the boat and ball are coming from the same amount of clay. i am wondering whether this quesion should have its own new subject, such as " total denity of a clay ball and a clay boat"????? tina.
