The case which best describes the situation.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
The second case, in which a fish in its unopened transport bag, best represents the situation. The water level in the plastic bag will be slightly greater than the aquarium water level.
It is understood that, object float in water because they have a lower density than water and those whose density is higher than water, will sink. Therefore, the bag does not sink because the water density with fish inside the bag is about the same as the aquarium water density. Since the bag is mainly filled with water and partly with air, it is also supported by the amount of air inside it to float.
Conclusion:
Hence, the air-filled portion extends above the aquarium water level.
