Question

A glass of water has an ice cube floating in water. The water level just touches the rim of the glass.
Will the water overflow when the ice melts ? Give the reason.
​

Answer 1

Answer:

The water level remains the same when the ice cube melts. A floating object displaces an amount of water equal to its own weight. Since water expands when it freezes, one ounce of frozen water has a larger volume than one ounce of liquid water.

Answer 2

Answer: No the water level remains the same
