Water level (Posted on 2003-03-10)

I’m sitting in a boat in a pool. In the boat with me is a cannonball. What happens to the level of the pool if I take the cannonball out of the boat and drop it into the pool? Does the level increase, decrease or stay the same?

Then you would be making an incorrect assumption.
