Because the density of ice is less than that of water, the ice floats on the water. Think of density as weight. In cheer leading the heavier people pick up the lighter people because it is easier. It is easier for the water to "pick up" the ice because the ice is lighter. Therefore, the ice floats on top of the water instead of sinking to the bottom

What is the Observation table of the ice cube floating?
Ice have a tetrahydral shape and this shape causes greater empty spaces in ice because of these empty spaces, ice usually occupies 9% more volume than water.Empty spaces reduces the density of ice and ice starts to float on the surface of water.
Will a glass of water filled to the brim with a cube of ice floating in it rise when ice melts?
The water level will decrease slightly when the ice cube melts, but the overall volume will remain constant. The melted ice will just fill the space that the ice cube previously occupied, 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).
What part of an ice floats on water?
Let V be the volume of the ice cube and U be the volume of the cube immersed in water density of water at 4oC = 0.998 g/cm³ density of ice at 0oC = 0.917 g/cm³ Weight of the ice cube = volume * density * g = 0.917*V*g [N] Buoyancy on the ice cube = volume * density * g = 0.988*U*g [N] Apply Newton's 3rd Law of Motion to the floating ice cube: 0.917*V*g = 0.988*U*g U/V = 0.928 = 92.8% Hence, 92.8% of the ice cube is immersed in water, or 7.2% of the ice cube is above water. The answer in percent can be converted to a fraction as follows: 7.2/100. =========================
