(I'm not a physicist & I hope this question isn't too basic/lame)
The question says it all & assuming:
- No atmosphere
- No Earth rotation
- Not a single object in the ocean(s)
- Ignore all other disturbances (earthquakes, etc.)
- The ocean is 'perfectly' still
If (due to-me-unknown reasons) the level wouldn't rise, how big an object had to be, so the sea/ocean level rise would be measurable?
