When a boat is floating on water it displaces water equal to its weight(Archimedes Principle). As the density of water is less than boat so water displaced is greater than volume of boat. When the boat sinks water displaced is equal to volume of boat. So less water is displaced in 2nd case and consequently water level goes down.
Note - relation between volume(v) mass(m) and density(d) : d = m/v

Is stone lighter than water?
no as it normally sinks down when put in water
What force slows down a boat in water?
dsd
How do rocks sinks?
A rock sinks because it is pushed down by a force of gravity and it is often denser than the water itself so the buoyancy pushing up on the rock is not strong enough to hold the rock on top of the water so therefore the rock will sink.
Why does fish sinks and float?
It all has to do with their swim bladder it allows them to move up and down in the water. agreed. thank you, we just learned about it in bio.
Why did the water level change when you dropped the marble in the water?
because when you add an object to fluid it displaces the water which therefor makes the level go down
Would the water level in a canal lock go up or down if a battleship in the lock sank?
the water level would sink. Anything that sinks into the water would cause the water level to sink
If a ship in a canal lock springs a leak and sinks will the water level at the side of the canal lock rise fall or remain unchanged?
As the ship sinks, the water begins filling it up, so the water level would go down. The way the water level could go up is if you increase the displacement of the ship; however, by springing a leak, you effectively decrease it.
Bathtubs and sinks have for the water to go down?
The water goes down the plughole/drain and then down the pipes.

You are in a boat with a rock on a fresh-water lake You throw the rock into the lake With respect to the land what happens to the level of the water in the lake goes up goes down stays the same?
the level with relative to the shore will decrease. This is because when the rock is on the boat, the weight of the rock is added to that of the boat and the volume of the boat displaces the water, causing it to sink in and thus raising the level of water. Once the rock is thrown out, the boat gets lighter and hence exerts a less pressure. Also as the volume of the rock is less than the boat, the pressure exerted by rock and boat seperately is less than exerted by them together...hence the level decreases...
How does a boat sink?
This actually happened with Titanic. The only way the boat can sink is if the boat has a giant hole in it. A boat floats on water, but what happens is the water from the ocean or lake or whatever goes into the boat. As the water fills up the boat, the boat justs get very heavy. and it goes down deep in the water.Example: The titanic hit an iceberg and it made huge holes on the side of the boat. So water went in the basement and It the water went up to every floor and boat got so heavy. And when the boat was rising up it go SO heavy that it snapped in halfexample: Also a rock can sink. when you throw a rock in the water it sinks because the rock is soooo heavy
