A wooden block is floating on water at `1^@C` with volume v above the water level. If the temperature of water starts increasing slowly, how will the volume of block above the water level is affected?

Explanation

To solve the problem of how the volume of a wooden block floating on water at 1°C is affected as the temperature of the water increases, we can follow these steps:

### Step-by-Step Solution:

1. **Understand the Initial Condition**:
- The wooden block is floating on water at 1°C with a certain volume \( v \) above the water level. The total volume of the block is \( V \).

2. **Identify Forces in Equilibrium**:
