This is College Physics Answers with Shaun Dychko. When some water is being splashed around in a tub, this high part here is going to be brought back down by the force of gravity and it's asking which of the following is resulting in the restoring force bringing this water back to its equilibrium level here and only one of these is a force and so those are two reasons to say the answer is (c) gravity.
