A boat floating in a water tank is carrying a number of large stones. If the stones are unloaded into water, what will happen to the water level?


The level of water will fall when stones are unloaded into water. The density of stones is more than the density of water. So, when the stones are dropped into the water, the stone replaces the volume of water equal to the volume of stones.
