The ice cube which is pressed at the bottom of the beaker melts first as when the ice cube is completely submerged under water then the ice cube receives more heat than the one which is left that the open in the air. Due to the reason that the ice cube which is pressed at the bottom of the beaker receives more heat it melts first.

Ice cube in the second glass will melt faster because it presents more surface area to the water than cube in the first glass, Thus, the heat transfer occurs faster and ice melts easily. 

Swatishka: can you please explain this?
ashishkhare687: ya
utkarsh27: what
utkarsh27: the pressed ice cube get more heat thats why it will melt first
Swatishka: Then please do explain me! @Ashishkhare687
Swatishka: how?? because hot air rises up and so the ice cube which is floating should melt first... isn't it?
