To solve the problem of what happens to the water level when an ice block with a cork piece embedded inside it melts, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Initial Condition Initially, we have an ice block floating in water. The ice block has a cork piece embedded in it, which is less dense than water. The ice displaces a certain volume of water equal to the weight of the entire ice block (including the cork). **Hint:** Remember that the volume of water displaced by the ice is equal to the weight of the ice block. ### Step 2: Apply Archimedes' Principle ...
