The following is a typical question asked at the end of physics units dealing with buoyancy: A barge loaded with scrap iron is in a canal lock. The captain orders his crew to dump all of the scrap iron overboard. What happens to the water level in the lock? I have asked this type of question to both high school and college physics students. Of course, answers are given which predict an increased, a decreased , or an unchanged water level
