4. Three objects all float on top of water. They have the following relationships:
- A and B have the same mass and same density but different shapes
- B and C have the same volume and same shape
- mass & density of C< mass & density of B
Three identical weights are tied to each object, and each is pulled completely beneath the water. Which object will displace the greatest amount of water?
(A) A
(B) B
(C) C
(D) All displace the same amount of water.
