Archimedes. . .where are you?

Since it's a GREEN canoe, it would stay the same!

I think that the guy asking about the hydrometer in the beer brewing post might want to take a look at this.

Well, the anvil has displaced the water in the amount of it's size, so I would say that the water level would go [b]up[/b] ever so slightly.
But you probably could not tell just by looking at it that it went up... |

The anvil is denser than water, so the level will go down.

Water level stays the same in the pool, but the canoe rides a little higher.
Density of canoe goes down so it displaces less water thus water level goes down slightly, but anvil hits water thus raising it back up by the same amount. Density of you + anvil + canoe stays the same since all parties are present in both cases. |

OK, since no one else has responded, I'll submit:
The water level in the pool will drop slightly. |

Ding, Ding. Francisco and IMHO are our big winners today... Tell them what they have won Johnny.
Seriously now (I'll try for at least a Minute). In order to float the anvil, the canoe must displace 100 LBS of water. Since the anvil sinks it is displacing less than 100 LBS of water. Therefore the water level in the pool drops. |

Unless, the anvil is a cheap Chinese piece of porous crap that weighs less than 62.4 pounds per cubic foot.
If so, all bets are off! |

To explain:
When floating (in the canoe) the anvil displaces its weight in water. When sunk it displaces its volume in water. Since the anvil is denser than water (that's why it sinks) the volume of the anvil is less than 100lbs of water, hence lowering the water level. Oops, Green_Canoe already explained it. |

"Ding, Ding. Francisco and IMHO are our big winners today... Tell them what they have won Johnny."
Francisco entered his answer first. I suggest that the Archimedes Prize include money. Francisco knows what it is. |
