A small raft is floating in a small wading-pool. There are twenty heavy concrete blocks on the raft. A small child pushes the blocks off the raft and into the water.
\n" ); document.write( "As a result, would the water level:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "A. Rise
\n" ); document.write( "B. Fall
\n" ); document.write( "C. Stay the same
\n" ); document.write( "D. Do any of the above depend on how dense the blocks are
\n" ); document.write( "================
\n" ); document.write( "Assuming the water is deeper than the height of the blocks?
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "The water level would fall, if \"heavy concrete\" means denser than water.
\n" ); document.write( "Floating, they displace their weight of water. submerged, they displace their volume.
\n" ); document.write( "---------------
\n" ); document.write( "D. Do any of the above depend on how dense the blocks are
\n" ); document.write( "If the density of the blocks is less than that of water (--> they float), then the level of the water would increase.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
