You and a friend are taking a cruise when the ship begins to sink. The life rafts hold heavy containers of supplies. Your friend says, “We need to tie ropes to the containers, toss them overboard, and let them hang submerged below the raft. That will allow the raft to carry more people without sinking.” In a clear, coherent argument, explain whether your friend’s idea will allow the raft to carry more people without sinking. Hurry and answer—the ship is sinking!
