Problem

A cylindrical metal bowl of mass

M=\SI{1}{kg}

and volume

V_1=\SI{3}{dm^3}

is floating in a tube. Mari makes an experiment - during a time period

t=\SI{1}{s}

she pours evenly a jug full of water with a volume

V_2=\SI{1,5}{dm^3}

into the bowl from a height

h=\SI{1,5}{m}

. Predict the result of the experiment: does the bowl go to the bottom or not? Explain your prediction with calculations. The density of water

\rho=\SI{1000}{kg/m^3}
