Algebra.Com's Answer #750362 by Alan3354(69443) You can put this solution on YOUR website! 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( " |
