AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we need to analyze the three different scenarios involving the melting of an ice cube that is floating in a beaker filled with water. We will consider the effects of an air bubble, a lead piece, and a cork piece inside the ice cube. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Initial Condition**: - The beaker is filled to the brim with water, and an ice cube is floating on it. The ice cube displaces a certain volume of water equal to the weight of the ice cube. 2. **Case (a): Ice Cube Contains an Air Bubble**: ...
