A piece of ice is floating in a glass vessel filled with water. How will the level of water in the vessel change when the ice melts ?
Text Solution
Verified by Experts
Let m be the mass of ice piece floating in water. In equilibrium, weight of ice piece=upthrust or " " `mg=V_(i)rho_(w)g` or `V_(i)=(m)/(rho_(w))` Here, `V_(i)` is the volume of ice piece immersed in water. When the ice melts, let V be the volume of water formed by m mass of ice. Then, " " `V=(m)/(rho_(w))` From Eqs. (i) and (ii), we see that, `V_(i)=V` Hence, the level will not change.
