A ball of clay sinks when placed in water. The same piece of clay floats if it is made into the shape of a boat.
Why does the clay float when made into the shape of a boat?
a. The clay is less dense when stretched into the shape of a boat.
b. The buoyant force is greater on the clay when it has a spherical shape.
c. The boat shape displaces a greater volume of water than the ball shape.
d. The weight of the clay boat is less than the weight of the clay ball.
