Three steel balls (each about half an inch in diameter) lie at the bottom of a plastic shell floating on the water surface in a partially filled bucket. Someone removes the steel balls from the shell and carefully lets them fall to the bottom of the bucket, leaving the plastic shell to float empty. What happens to the water level in the bucket? Does it rise, go down, or remain unchanged? Explain.

- 1. Consider a conic reservoir of unit depth that is initially filled with water at the height of h = 200 mm. A rigid cuboid block, with dimensions of 10 cm x 5 cm x 3 cm, is then dropped into the water. When the equilibrium state is reached, the block floats on the water's surface, as shown in the figure. If the specific gravity of the block is 0.5, determine the change in the free surface position of the water, i.e., Ah, in mm. %3D Hint: You can calculate the volume of liquid inside the conic reservoir with a unit depth in terms of the liquid height as V = th³/3.
