Here is a question for you:
Support there is a container(color:orange) with mass m, and a heavy object with mass M (circle shape).
The first case: right side in the simulation
mass M is put inside the container, then let it float on top of the liquid, the liquid level rise by H.
The second case: left side in the simulation
What if the mass M is hanged under the container, then let it float on top of the liquid,the liquid level rise by h.
What is the relation between H and h
1) H>h
2) H=h
3) H<h
Why?
You can try out with the simulation. However, I would suggest you select an answer before you play with it.
