Cast It Into The Waters! -- A Classic
Classical Mechanics
Level
2
A man stuck in a small sailboat on a perfectly calm lake throws a stone overboard. It sinks to the bottom of the lake.
When the water again settles to a perfect calm, is the water level in the lake higher, lower, or in the same place compared to where it was before the stone was cast in?
Hint: You can use limits to solve this problem!
