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<\mathrm{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.
