Why do ice cubes sink but when you drink the water they rise to the top?

Ice cubes don't sink in water, as the density of an ice cube is less than the density of water.


How do you get an ice cube to sink?

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


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.

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.

They float, as ice is less dense than water.


Why ice floats on water and does not sink?

Of course. Heavy water ice will sink in light water.
