Question

You will be given items which include: a large beaker, a ball (or bar) of clay, one metal ball (or perhaps more than one), and an erasable maker. Carefully follow the steps listed below. (Record each water level as you mark it.) Fill the beaker approximately 1/4 full of water and then mark the level of the water on the outside of the beaker. Place the ball of clay in the water then mark the level of the water. Fashion the clay into a boat that remains upright in the water. Make sure the boat will float when the metal bail is placed inside. Mark the level of the water when the boat is floating without the metal ball inside. Place the metal ball (or balls) in the boat then mark the level of the water. Finally, slowly add water to the boat with the metal ball (or balls) inside by pushing it just under the surface of the water. Continue to add water until the boat sinks. Once the boat has sunk, mark the level of the water. Finally, slowly add water to the boat with the metal ball (or balls) inside by pushing it just under the surface of the water. Continue to add water until the boat sinks. Once the boat has sunk, mark the level of the water. The space below (and using the back of this sheet if necessary), beginning with step 2, explain the in water level from each step to the next (e.g. from step 2 to step 3). Also, explain the overall in water level from the original level established in step 1 to the level measured at each particular (e.g. from step 1 to step 4). In order to receive maximum credit, you must include appropriate.

Explanation / Answer

Since you have already given values after experiment so only I can explain you about it that water level rises when clay or mud is added to it because of Archimedes principal that it displaces the mass of water equal to the force experienced by it.

Similar happens in other cases that is when we add metal ball or add more water to sink boat.
