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 ?

A

Increases

B

Decreases

C

Remains the same

D

First increases then decreases

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Density of ice is slightly less than that of water, so it floats in the water.
Also, mass `=` density `xx` volume
When ice is converted into water, its density increases but volume decreases to keep its mass same.
Hence melting ice does not increase water level in the beaker.
