Would a glass that was filled to the brim with ice and water would it overflow?

No. The volume taken up by the ice gets smaller as it melts. This makes the total volume of ice and water in the glass smaller as time passes. So the glass will not overflow


When ice cube floating in a tumbler of water melts completely why there is no overflow of water?

Its actually quite simple. The answer would be Anomalous expansion of Water, which means that the volume the Ice cubes are consuming in a glass filled upto the brim is more than water alone. When Ice melts and comes back into water form, it uses lesser volume (space) in the glass. Hence it does not allow the glass to overflow as the person pouring into the glass had poured in keeping into view the level of the ice (which uses more volume).


Will a glass of water filled to the brim with a cube of ice floating in it rise when ice melts?

No. The ice will melt such that it fills the volume of ice that the submerged part of the cube displaces.


If you float an ice cube in a glass of water filled to the brim will the water overflow when the ice melts?

The level of the liquid stays the same : the ice is no longer above the water but it takes up less space as water.Ice floats, therefore it is less dense than liquid water. (They are both made of H2O.) As the ice melts it becomes denser, using less space for the same about of mass (water is unlike most substances that become less dense as they melt). So if it takes less space for the same mass, the water level goes down. (The actual mass does not change only its form.) However, the volume of ice above the water level is approximately 12.5% of the total). When this melts you will find that its 'extra' volume causes the final level to be the same as the original one.The science behind this has to do with Archimedes Principle, which states that the mass of the liquid displaced by a floating object is equivalent to the mass of the object. The space taken up by the object under the water is same as the amount of water of the same weight. So in ice cube terms: the volume of the water that the ice cube displaces is the same as the weight of water in the ice cube. Given that these two are exactly the same, the level therefore remains constant.

What would you do if your juice glass filled to the brim?

I would stick my mouth in the center of the glass and sip for about 15-20 seconds and then your glass won't be filled to the brim

What does brimful mean?

Brim typically means the edge of something, and it will usually refer to a hat. Brim also is used as a verb, when something, such as a cup, is very full.


How do you use brim in a sentence?

The cup was filled till the brim


The edge or rim of a container?

The edge or rim of a container is called the brim. That is why you hear the phrase "filled to the brim."


What is a sentence for brimming?

I filled the cup right up to the brim. The brim of the hat is curled nicely.


Beverage glass is filled to the brim with ice cold water 0C and ice cubes Some of the ice cubes are floating above the water level When the ice melts the water in the glass will?

When all the ice melts (it will take a while with the water at 0C), the water level in the glass will not be in any danger of overflowing the container because water is one of those rare liquids that expands when it freezes. (This is why a closed glass container of water put into a freezer will break.) This means that it contracts as it melts.The specific water level of the glass will depend on how much ice was floating above the water level, but it won't be in any danger of overflowing. As a matter of fact, the water level will actually be lower than the rim of the glass.
