Question #04a12

Answer 1

Assuming the situation is that where a piece of ice is dropped in a glass of water at room temperature which is much greater than `4^@C`

To explain let us consider

`M_i->"Mass of the piece of ice floated"`

`d_w="Density of water"`

Volume of water obtained on melting ice`V_w=M_i/d_w`

As the ice is floating then by the condition of floatation,

The mass of water displced by floating ice is same as the mass of ice `M_i`
So the volume of this displaced water`=V_d=M_i/d_w`

Since `V_w=V_d`,we can easily say the water level will remain at the same position as before the melting of floated ice in water.
