It falls.Originally Posted by Slopho
This is correct. When in the boat, the anchor will displace a volume that represents the mass of the anchor and when in the water the anchor will displace it's own volume. Given that any anchor worth it's...well...weight...is denser than water, the volume displaced by the anchor being in the water is less than the water displaced by the anchor in the boat.

Thank you. If I could find any six-figure High School teaching gigs I would take it in a heartbeat.
