when the can of beans fell into the water , it quite rudely displaced a large amount of water molecules from the region where the can is now . this caused the entire water level to rise . but water is pulled down by gravity which makes it want to try and find the lowest level possible .

to make this concept precise , we use the idea of pressure . pressure is defined to be the amount of force exerted per area . $ { \large p=\dfrac { f } { a } } $ so to create a large amount of pressure , you can either exert a large force or exert a force over a small area ( or do both ) .
