| Hardy, capital | 58,000 | |
| Dennard, capital | 15,000 | |

A fisherman and his young nephew are in a boat on a small pond. Both are wearing life jackets. The nephew is holding a large floating helium filled balloon by a string. Consider each action below independently, and indicate whether the level of the water in the pond R-Rises, F-Falls, S-Stays the Same, C-Can't tell. (If in the first the level Rises, and in the second it Falls, and for the rest one Cannot tell, enter RFCCC)
A) The fisherman lowers himself in the water and floats on his
back
B) The fisherman fills a glass with water from the pond and drinks
it.
C) The nephew gets in the water, looses his grip on the string,
letting the balloon escape upwards.
D) The fisherman knocks the tackle box overboard and it sinks to
the bottom.
E) The nephew pops the balloon.
Hint: Think "Archimedes Principle". How does the volume of fluid displaced by a body which `floats' differ from that for a body which sinks?
