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 ????????

The Earth moving round the Sun in a circular orbit is acted upon by a force, and hence
work must be done on the Earth by this force. Do you agree with this statement?
The force on earth jn circular trajectory is gravity,acting radially inward...the direction of motion is tangential.....as u knw work is dot product of force and dx, the work done is zero.
