re: #207 Basho

lol
I’ll shuddup before everyone becomes completely confused…
I have to do my own experiment to verify, but I really can’t see how the water level can change by changing an objects shape. The amount of water I would displace in a pool should be the same whether I’m cuddled up in a ball or laying flat on my back.

If that were true then you would have no way of changing the buoyant force on your body (which is proportional to the weight of the displaced fluid) and you would either always sink or always float regardless of whether you stretched out on your back or rolled up in a ball.
