Theoretical question - boat filled with iron in a canal lock - water level?
level fall.
assume boat steel make simpler...
steel [boat , cargo] displaces own mass of water.
steel [boat , cargo] denser water.
steel [boat , cargo] displace greater volume of water actual volume of steel.
think hollow empty steel boat; water level above bottom of hull inside; boat holding air. means volume of water pushed aside [and up] make space.
if boat filled scrap iron in canal lock , boat sank, happen water level?
water level fall, rise, stay same, or depend on mass?
thanks... :)
