When ice cube is submerged on water...The upthrust created on the ice cube by water is equal to the weight of the displaced water...when the ice cube is melting its volume changes but its weight remains the same and its exactly equal to the weight of displaced water when the ice cube was frozen...therefore the 'volume of of melted water' fits exactly to the 'volume of displaced water when the ice cube was frozen'...

So the water level does not change!

The ice ball or brick floats in water tank Then if the ice melts what will happend?

When the ice ball or brick melts, it will turn into water. The overall water level in the tank will remain the same because the volume of water displaced by the ice when it was floating is equal to the volume of water produced when the ice melts.


When ice melts what does it leave behind?

When the ice caps melt, it leaves water behind. If all the of the icecaps melt, it will rise the ocean level 20ft.


Do melting ice cubes cause liquids to rise?

No. As ice cubes float, they displace the same volume of water that they contain. This is known as Archimedes' Principle. If they melt, the water level will stay exactly the same. Try it yourself by adding an ice cube to a glass and marking the water level. After the ice melts, you will see that there has been no change in the water level.


A piece of cork is embedded inside an ice block which floats in water if what will happen to the level of water when all the ice melts?

The level of water will remain the same because the cork displaces its weight in water, keeping it afloat when the ice melts. When the ice melts, the water that was previously frozen in the ice block will turn into liquid water, maintaining the overall water level.


What happens to the sea level of the ocean if all the ice melts?

If all the floating ice (sea ice, icebergs etc) melts it will not change sea levels.If all the land ice melts (Antarctica, Greenland, Alaska, all other glaciers) sea levels will rise about 70 metres (229 feet).
