Rises. You're displacing the water (albeit to an immeasurable degree) by adding something to it.

But when the anchor hits the bottom you lose some mass on the boat and the boat rises, thereby decreases displacement by the boat.
I'm too lazy to do the math.

In the boat, the anchor is displacing its weight in water.
In the water, the anchor is displacing its volume in water.
But since the anchor is denser than water, its weight in vol of water is greater than its volume in water. Thus when u toss that mofo into teh water, the water drops
What about the anchor chain? It displaces its volume in the water and also imparts a weight to the ship.Originally posted by: nineball9

Exactly. (This is from an old riddle about a boat in a canal with a cargo of iron and cork.)

that's some pretty damn good AOE!

A ship out at sea decides to drop its anchor in the water. Does the water level rise, lower, or stay the same?
I can't wait for the responses to this

Depends on weight of the anchor. If the anchor weighs a lot, once overboard, the water level falls. If the anchor is very light, water level rises.

Has nothing to do with the weight.
