Does ice sink under the cup?

No, ice does not sink under a cup. Ice typically floats in liquids because it is less dense than the liquid it is in, such as water. So when you place ice in a cup of water, it will float on the surface rather than sink.

Ice can't sink hunny :) It is less dense then water (density= 1.0) and therefore, it can only float, not ever sink.

Will ice float in ether?

No. It will sink because ice is denser than ether, and denser things sink to the bottom. Ice has a density of 0.9167 g/ml and ether has a density of 0.736 g/ml.

What happens if a ice cube embedded with a cork melts?

If the ice cube melts, the cork will float on the liquid water that was previously frozen as ice. Cork is less dense than water, so it will float rather than sink.


If a block of ice has the density of 0.97gcm3 how much of it will sink below the water?

Since the density of ice is less than that of water (1g/cm3), some of the ice will float. The amount of ice that will sink below the water depends on the volume of the ice and the density difference between ice and water. To calculate the immersed volume, you'd need to consider Archimedes' principle.
