Ship and rope problem
So this one should be simple to solve with some maths.
There is a boat of height 15 metres (measured from sea-level) and there is a rope hanging from its deck so that the distance from the sea-level is half the third of the boat's height. It is given that the sea-level is rising at the constant rate of 1.75 cm/s. After how much time will the rope be wet? |

As soon as it starts raining.

As sea level will rise, ship will also go up. The rope tied to deck will also go up and will not touch sea level.
