For the following True/False questions, consider the system of a bucket of water with a faucet (source of water) and a hole (sink of water). If the bucket of water is in equilibrium (steady state), no water is being added to the bucket. If the amount of water in a bucket is increasing, the source of water (from the faucet) must be larger than the sink (the hole). If the source of water to the bucket is large (the faucet is turned way up), the water level in the bucket must be high.
