Here's an easy way to remember what Connie and I have been trying to describe. "Did you hear about the fellow who bought water skis and spent the rest of his life in frustration looking for a lake that sloped?" Water in a stable enclosed area (lakes, basins, bowls, glasses, water hoses, etc.) will always remain level. Displace that water with a rock (which sinks) or a boat (which floats) and the water will still remain level. If the water is contained in a lake, the waterline on the boat will be obvious. Even if the water is contained in a hose, the same principle applies and the water level will still remain constant. Joe Kidd M15 #207 "Poco A Poco"
Even though I don't understand this, I'm archiving it in hopes I have an
eppifany.
