Question

A piece of ice is gently placed on the surface of water filled in glass tumbler, so the water rises to the brim. What will happen to the level of water when the ice melts ? Will the water overflow ? If not, explain with reason.

Answer 1

In the first case, ice is floating on water with mass m. To support its weight it will have to displace some water. So the volume= m/d. Where mass is m and displacement is d.
In the second case the water melts and the volume of water becomes....volume=m/d. And its the same. The water won't overflow.
