Question

A block of ice is floating in a liquid of specific gravity 1.2 contained in a beaker. When the ice melts completely, the level of liquid in the vessel (A) Increases (B) Decreases (C) Remain unchanged (D) First increases then decreases

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Density of ice is less than water and density of liquid is more than water. So even when ice melts the level will rise. If ρ text liquid > ρ text water then level (liquid + water) will rise.

Q. A block of ice is floating in a liquid of specific gravity $1.2$ contained in a beaker. When the ice melts completely, the level of liquid in the vessel

Increases

Decreases

Remain unchanged

First increases then decreases

Density of ice is less than water and density of liquid is more than water. So even when ice melts the level will rise. If $ρ_{liquid} > ρ_{water}$ then level (liquid + water) will rise.
