Imagine that you're sitting on a boat, floating in the water, and holding a rock that you then throw into the water, and it sinks.

Did you just cause the water level to rise, fall, or stay the same?

I want you to think on that for a minute.

And to make the problem a little more clear, imagine the boat is in a container not much bigger than the boat.

Will the water level rise, fall, or stay the same?

I recommend pausing the video to try to figure it out first.

Ooh.

So it was on my boat.

It, um-- And then I threw it in the water.

You would say that it would rise.
