Question

A piece of ice having a stone frozen in it floats in a glass vessel containing water. If ice melts, what happens to the level of water. ​

Answer 1

Answer:

The water level increase s a bit

Explanation:

1. There is a stone frozen remeber.So the ice melts and the stone goes to the bottom and the water level increases.

Answer 2

The water level decrease

Explanation:

The water level remains constant if the object keeps floating on it as it melts. You can show that easily mathematically, with the help of Archimedes's law. As ice melts, the volume the block displaces decreases, but then water from the ice compensates as it joins the water. If there is a stone in the ice however, then at a certain point the ice + stone will be more dense than water and it will sink. You can imagine, the ice surrounding the stone under water melts and takes up less place, meaning that the water level decreases
