Question : What will happen to the level of water in a vessel when a piece of ice floating in it melts?
Option 1: Decreases
Option 2: Increases
Option 3: Remains same
Option 4: First increases and then decreases
Correct Answer: Remains same
Solution : The correct option is Remains same.
The floating object displaces some liquid, according to the Archimedes principle. The volume of displaced water will be occupied by the ice when it melts. As a result, the water level remains at its prior level. The volume of water or the water level remains unchanged since the density of water is greater than that of ice, or vice versa.
