Some pieces of impurity (density `=rho`) is embedded in ice. This ice is floating in water (density `rho_(w))`. When ice melts level of water will
(a). Fall if `rhogtrho_(w)`
(b). Remain unchanged if `rholtrho_(w)`
(c). fall if `rholtrho_(w)`
(d). rise if `rhogtrho_(w)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A, B
Level will fall if initally the impurity piece were floating along will ice and later it sinks. Level will remain unchanged if initially they were floating and later also they keep floating.
