Brick thrown from boat into small pond. Does water level change?
Choose an answer
A.Rises
B.Stays the same
C.The pond overflows
D.Water level drops
Answer: Water level drops
When in the boat, the brick displaces its weight in water. When in the pond, it only displaces its volume. Since it is denser than water, its volume displacement is less than its weight displacement.
