Q. If ice floating on water in a vessel melts, the water level in the vessel _?
Answer: does not change
Notes: When ice floating on water in a vessel melts, the water level in the vessel does not change. This is because when floating, the ice displaces an amount of water equal to its mass, and when melted, it becomes an amount of water equal to its mass. It is accordance with Archimedes Principle, which states that the mass of the liquid displaced by a floating object is equivalent to the mass of the object.
