Solution
You will see that some water flows out of the tumbler and collects in the bowl. Remove the stone from the tumble. The level of water in the tumbler comes down. Now, pour the water collected in the bowl back into the tumbler. The glass tumbler is filled again. This is because the stone occupied space and therefore drives the water out of the tumbler. This proves that not only solids but liquids also occupy space.
