Answer:
( c ) The water level will drop slightly as the ice melts .
Explanation:
Actually density of Ice is less at zero temperature.
Answer:
Answer is b.
Explanation:
Earlier some volume was displaced by ice. when ice will melt then it occupy that volume and water do not overflow. Now question arises is that what if water formed by melting of ice is less in quantity than displaced by ice. Answer is it is not possible. Just suppose we take cube out and in water there is a void formation where block was placed. Now water in that void will be more in quantity than that of water from ice melting due to Density difference. Density of ice is almost 9/10 of water so it is clear that about 1/10 of ice will be floating above water level. So rest of water that we thought will decrease the overall level will come from that above part of ice which is out of water.
