What will be the change in water level while melting of ice floating in a vessel?

Answer 1

there is no change in the water level
when ice is placed in water, about nine tenths of it is immersed under water
when it melts, the volume of the ice cube decreases as it changes into water, having higher density, and this decrease corresponds to the part of the ice cube, which is above the water level
hence the level of the water remains same

Answer 2

Technically, the more the ice melted the more water in the vessel. However, ice takes up more space than water in a container. The level of all ice in a vessel would be greater than all water. If the vessel is is floating in a body of water there would be no difference in the level of the vessel in the water.

Answer 3

Since something floating displaces a mass of water equal to the mass of the object and ice is water there should be no change in water level as the ice melts. If you ice weighs 50 grams it displaces 50 grams or 50 cc of water. As the 50 gram piece of ice melts, it turns into 50 grams or 50 cc of water. The water level with the floating ice and after the ice has melted is exactly the same, 50 cc higher than without the ice.

Answer 4

I'm not entirely sure I understand the question, but let me add this important point: The melting of ice in a body of water and the way that it affects the level of that body of water has a lot to do with the type of water the ice is floating in and the type of water that the ice is composed of.

If a freshwater "chunk" of ice is floating in a body of saltwater (as is the case with the polar ice caps of Earth), the ice will float high in the water (as opposed to a freshwater cube of ice in a glass of freshwater where the ice will float low) causing less displacement. If that ice were to melt, the water level would rise (and the salt concentration of the water would be dilluted).

Answer 5

It doesn't really matter which one you talk about, the "water" level will stay the same.

If you are talking about water melting inside a vessel (like ice in a swimming pool on the deck of a ship) the water level of the pool will not change because the volume displaced by the ice is equal to the volume of the ice. If you speak of the water level on the side of the ship, it too will not change because the net weight of the ship does not change (assuming no evaporation) because the weight of the ice is equal to the weight of the water it will soon become.

Answer 6

If i understand your situation correctly, you have a pond (with no inlet or outlet), a boat with no leaks floating in the pond, and ice inside the boat.

The water level of the pond will not change at all as the ice melts. The water level in the pond would only change if mass were added or removed from the boat. A boat displaces an amount of water equal to the total weight of that boat. A change in ice melting from ice to water does not change its weight. Therefore no change.

Answer 7

when melting of ice floating in a vessel the water level will increase with respect to melting speed.
if u ask''what wiil be change in water level while melted of ice floating in a vessel?''then will be''remains unchanged of water level''.

Answer 8

the volume of water remains the same
( less loss thru evaporation )
the total water as liquid & ice stays same, water as liquid maintais level respective to ice remaining. it compensates for ice changing to liquid.
if you only measure available liquid , be ware a part of it is ice
And some ice is probably floating in the water table, ie above the water liquid line, so what oes it mean... is the water level or liquid level or Water volume that matters,

all things undisturbed remain the same, they only change state
unless changed from matter to energy , or another state ie gaseous, water vapor, AHH the ice will also contain some air as will the liquid water - so what are you measuring

an air /water or air /ice mix ?????????????

Answer 9

no change... coz the when ice melts it wil occupy the water level it was raising when it was floating...so the level of water wil be left unchanged..

Answer 10

No change.

A floating body, wholely, or partially submerged in water,
is equal to the weight of the water displaced.
