Bowling Ball in the Canoe Answer

Page history last edited by peterga 14 years, 5 months ago

 

Answer:  The water will go slightly up.

 

This is because while in the canoe, the ball displaces its weight in water, but when in the water, it displaces only its volume.

 

(No fascinating cognitive lesson here -- just a nice little physics question.)
