Water clock question?
You are the head curator at the Museum of Timekeeping, where one of the oldest exhibits is a Clepsydra: a bronze bowl with a small hole in the bottom, which is placed in a tub of water and takes a definite amount of time to fill up and sink.
One day, a salesman calls offering something that you can sell in your gift shop: model Clepsydras made from injection-moulded polypropylene, which can be printed with the logo and address of the museum, and which he assures you will command a handsome mark-up.
Why should you not buy his wares?
Polypropylene is less dense than water. It will float.
