An ice cube floats on the surface of a flass of water `(density of ice = 0.9 g//cm^(3)).` When the ice melts will the water level in the glass rise ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Yes, the water level rises.
Reason : The ice cube floats on water, because its density is less than density of water. When ice cube melts, it becomes water so that the water level rises.
