The anchor displaces water and the water level will rise.

Why does water level drop after a flood?
because the water drains away
What will happen to the water level if someone was sitting in a boat floating on a very small pond and then he take the anchor out of the boat and drop it into the water?
Assuming that you and the anchor are both in the boat and floating on the sea, the level of water would go down once you throw the anchor into the water. The logic behind this follows from two facts which, if not known, would make it almost impossible to answer this question. When an object floats on a liquid (let's say water), it displaces water equal to its own weight. Also if an object is submerged in water, it displaces water equal to its own volume. Therefore, as the anchor is extremely heavy, it displaces a great deal of water when it is floating on the boat, but when you drop it into the water (because its volume is quite small), it displaces less water (or fluid) and so the level of water would rise a lot less compared to its fall, which would be greater. Now you may be wondering how I can make the assumption that the volume is small. Well, you have to assess the density of the substance. Density = mass/volume; the anchor has a high density, and water has a lower density. Lets assume, for all intents and purposes, that the density of water is 1 and that of the anchor is 2. So the anchor has a greater mass than the water per unit of volume: 1=y/x 2=2y/x It also has a smaller volume per unit of mass relative to water, of course. 1=y/x 2=y/0.5x (y=x=1) So relative to the water, you can say that the anchor has a greater mass than it does volume, and so it displaces more water in the boat than in the water.

How deep can the anchor reach on an aircraft carrier?
The US Navy's aircraft carriers are always moving when in open water so they never drop anchor. The only time they would drop anchor would be in a shallow harbor. Otherwise, when in port, they are tied to a dock.
Why does the level of water drop when is heated?

How do you stop a mooring chain from wrapping around the anchor?

What does the phrase to weigh anchor mean?
It's a phrase that's often misunderstood. It means to pull up a ship's anchor. It's the opposite of "to drop anchor".
Can you give me sentence using the phrase drop the anchor?
This expression comes from exploration by sea: when explorers came to a place by ship, they would drop the anchor (or just "drop anchor") to hold their ship in place, close to shore, allowing the sailors to get off the ship without it floating away. When the explorer's ship got close enough to the island, he dropped anchor and told his men they could go ashore.

Will it damage the pool pump or filter to let the water level drop?
So long as there is water coming through the pump when it is running it doesnt matter what the water level in the pool is.
