9. If the dog drinks m kg of water from the pond, the weight of (boat +dog) system will increase by mg
and so, the system will displace m kg more water for floating.
Also, the water level in pond decreases due to removal of water from pond. Due to water displaced
by boat, the water level increases. So, the water removed from the pond is equal to the water
displaced by the system. Hence, the level of water remains unchanged.
