Formulation of this problem in the post is terrible.
How triangle ABC is logically or physically connected with the water in the bowl ?
How this problem is worded, it really scares and perplexes me . . .
It looks more like a horror movie than a Math problem . . .
The post by @MathLover1 is INADEQUATE and INCORRECT solution,
which must be ignored.
