Question

Why does the level of water increase when we add a drop of honey in a beaker and why there is no change in the level of water when we add a drop of ink ?

Answer 1

Density of Honey is 1400 gm/L

Density of water is 1000 gm/L

Density of Ink is < density of water

Ink get dispersed in water when put a drop in water, where as honey being heavy settles down at the bottom, as it occupies a material space in water which applies pressure to water and pushes water level a bit up.
