Water Level: Effects of New Sphere on L

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around the effects on water level L when a small solid sphere is replaced by a new sphere with varying characteristics. Key scenarios include a new sphere with a smaller radius but higher density, which may cause the water level to fall or remain unchanged, and a sphere with the same radius but lower mass, likely resulting in a fall in water level. Other combinations, such as a sphere with greater mass and equal density, are expected to raise the water level. The poster expresses frustration over the lack of engagement on their post compared to others. The conversation highlights the complexities of buoyancy and density in determining water displacement.

Homework Statement


A small solid sphere of mass M0, of radius R0, and of uniform density ρ0 is placed in a large bowl containing water. It floats and the level of the water in the dish is L. Given the information below, determine the possible effects on the water level L, (R-Rises, F-Falls, U-Unchanged), when that sphere is replaced by a new solid sphere of uniform density.

The new sphere has radius R < R0 and density ρ > ρ0
The new sphere has radius R = R0 and mass M < M0
The new sphere has density ρ = ρ0 and radius R < R0
The new sphere has mass M > M0 and density ρ = ρ0
The new sphere has mass M = M0 and density ρ < ρ0
The new sphere has mass M = M0 and density ρ > ρ0

Homework Equations


I know Mass=density*volume

The Attempt at a Solution


My most recent attempt, several other combinations tried.
(R or F or U) The new sphere has radius R < R0 and density ρ > ρ0
( F or U) The new sphere has radius R = R0 and mass M < M0
( F ) The new sphere has density ρ = ρ0 and radius R < R0
( R ) The new sphere has mass M > M0 and density ρ = ρ0
( U ) The new sphere has mass M = M0 and density ρ < ρ0
( U ) The new sphere has mass M = M0 and density ρ > ρ0

Please explain why you think the second one could be either F or U.

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'

In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
