Its a floating house alright, but wont sink.
Great lifestyle, you should try it. - Not necessarily, it depends on the size of the two. Boats float well and it takes a lot of weight to make them sink, it might tip over easily, but not sink.
Source(s):
I am my own source - You are having a laugh, it must still be floating otherwise it could not be sold. Its all about displacement and the law of buoyancy, dear boy. The theory discovered by Archimedes, which basically says:
any material or object immersed in a fluid will tend to rise through the fluid if the fluid density is greater than the material density. The force associated with buoyancy is the difference between the weight of the displaced fluid and the weight of the immersed material. Density is the amount of and object (weight or mass) there is an a given volume (the amount of water the object displaces).
So objects which weigh a lot and don't displace much water (have a low volume) will sink, while objects which are light and displace a lot of water will float. - don,t forget to check the damp coarse
