Review notes on Archimedes principle of flotion, which says that a floating object displaces it's own weight of fluid in which it floats.
Think of the ice as making a hole in the water.
The weight of water displaced by ice is equal to the weight of the ice. What happens when the ice melts and becomes water? Would the volume of the water derived from melted ice be equal to that of the "hole"?
a piece pf ice floats in water.what will happen to the water level when the ice melts completely?
