Since the boat full of stones is floating in the pond, so the weight of the stone is balanced by the buoyant force. The stones displaces water of equal weight. But when the stones are dropped in the water, it displaces water of equal volume. Since the density of stone is more than water, so the stone...

But when the stones are dropped in the water, it displaces water of equal volume. Since the density of stone is more than water, so the stone will displace less water when inside it. Due to this the level of water will fall. read less

??. When you are holding the large stones in your boat it’s displacing water equal to its weight, but when it’s in water it displacing water equal to its volume, and since stone is denser than water (since it can't float), water level will go down. Thanks www.tuitionrocks.com ????????

Suppose some electricity is flowing through a long straight wire without any insulating coating that gives an electric shock to a person at rest relative to the wire on touching it. Is there a speed with which if the person runs along the wire in the direction of current flowing such that he/she does not experience any shock?
It is an excellent, thought-provoking question! Suppose a person runs along the direction of electron motion with the same speed of an electron. Then for him, electrons are at rest means zero current in...
