| TO FIND THE WEIGHT OF AN ELEPHANT, A LARGE BOAT IS NEEDED . THE BOAT SHOULD BE STRONG ENOUGH TO STAND THE ELEPHANT. TO FIND OUT THE WEIGHT, THE ELEPHANT IS INITIALLY ALLOWED TO ENTER THE BOAT AND THE LEVEL OF WATER OUTSIDE THE BOAT IS MARKED. THE ELEPHANT IS REMOVED FROM THE BOAT AND THE LEVEL OF WATER IS NOTED. THE BOAT IS NOW LOADED WITH KNOWN WEIGHTS TILL THE THE LEVEL OF WATER REACHES THE LEVEL WHEN THE ELEPHANT WAS IN THE BOAT. FROM THE READINGS NOTED THE ELEPHANT'S WEIGHT CAN BE CALCULATED EASILY. WEIGHT OF THE ELEPHANT = THE WEIGHTS ADDED INTO THE BOAT. |
