Question

Does water exert any force on the ice cube? Why or why not? Draw us a force diagram! Yes, The buoyant force is the upward force that fluids exert on all matter Imagine that you were to mark the level of liquid water in the class carefully with a sticky note (or marker, or similar method). Then, suppose that you were to cover the top of the glass (e.g. with a piece of plastic) and set it somewhere out of direct sunlight, and wait until the ice cube melts. After it is completely method, what do you predict has happened to the water level? Circle one: stays unchanged goes up a little goes down a little Briefly, tell us why you think what you think OPTIONAL Try the experiment! Tell us what you saw. If it is different from your prediction. Can you explain the outcome? Note: If you cannot do the experiment, (or don't have time) don't fret-we aren't grading part 3. Please do not pretend that you did it-don't write anything here if you didn't see the result with your own eyes, in the real world (Youtube doesn't count!) I think it's informative to try it and SEE the answer for yourself-so if you don't get a chance before this pretab is due, try it after lab, just for fun. (The outcome surprise a lot of people, and is worth thinking about)

Explanation / Answer

water level will go down. beacause ice has less density than the water (that's why it floats in water).

density = mass/volume

so for same mass volume is indirectly proportionla to the density.

volume will be more in the case of ice but when it melts water has more density than ice, its volume will come down and the water level will fall down.
