Why do you fiind it to hard to push a glass tumbler down into water?

Pushing a glass tumbler down into water is difficult due to the buoyant force acting on it. This upward force, which opposes the weight of the tumbler, increases as the tumbler is submerged deeper. Additionally, water creates resistance around the tumbler, making it harder to displace the liquid. Together, these factors make it challenging to push the glass downward.


What happens when you place an iceblock in a dry tumbler?

When you place an ice block in a dry tumbler, the ice begins to melt as it absorbs heat from the surrounding air and the tumbler itself. As the ice melts, it turns into water, which remains in the tumbler. Since there is no additional moisture in the dry tumbler, the water will accumulate at the bottom without any immediate evaporation. Over time, if the environment allows, the melting ice will cool the air inside the tumbler, causing condensation on the outer surface if the temperature is right.


How can water wear away solid rock?

The water can be chemically attacking the minerals contained in the rock, or be the medium which carries abrasive rock particles which weather solid rock. The power of moving water can tumble rocks into each other, rounding them and reducing their size, in the same principle as a rock tumbler. Crashing waves can pound into rock cliffs, reducing them to rubble, where they can be further weathered by the previously mentioned water effects. Pressures caused by freezing and thawing water in rock fissures will also reduce rock size.
