A man is sitting in a boat which is floating in a pond.If the man drinks some water from the pond ,the level of water in the pond

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

False, When the man drinks some water from the pond his weight increases and therefore the boat will sink further. The further sinking of the boat will displace the same volume of water in pond as drunk by man. Therefore there will beno change in the level of water in the pond.
