A piece of ice is floating in water kept in a beaker. When all the ice melts the level of water will
A
first rise and then fall
B
fall
C
remain the same
D
rise
Correct Answer: remain the same
The submerged portion of the ice on melting shrinks a little in volume. so the level of water goes down a little.But this is just made up by the water added by the melting of upper portion. Addition is equal to the Shrinkage. Hence level is unchanged.
