tbourner Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 We had the plane/conveyer argument, can anyone find the thread from ages ago about the ship in a tank of water, and you take the cargo off and drop it in the tank and ask does the water level rise. Or something like that. I'm sure it was on this site but can't find it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

juanchan Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 I think I remember it. Ship full of cargo in a tank, chcuk the cargo out of the ship into the tank and will the water level rise. Depends on the density of the cargo I'd say! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbourner Posted February 28, 2008 Author Share Posted February 28, 2008 I'm sure it specified the dimensions of the cargo as well as the weight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marco Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 What if the cargo is another boat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
