Miri said:So I take for example 100m^3 for the volume of ice. So the mass is (920kg/m^3)*100m^3=92000kg. Then I divide 92000kg by the density of water and I get 92m^3. And then??
The density of ice is less than that of liquid water, which means that ice is less dense than water. This allows ice to float on top of liquid water.
The percent of an ice cube that is submerged is directly related to the density of the ice cube. The denser the ice cube, the lower the percent submerged will be. This is because denser ice cubes will displace more water, causing a smaller portion of the cube to be submerged.
The water level percent is calculated by dividing the volume of the submerged portion of the ice cube by the total volume of the ice cube, and then multiplying by 100. This will give the percentage of the ice cube that is submerged in the water.
When an ice cube melts, it changes from a solid to a liquid, which means that its density also changes. The density of liquid water is higher than that of ice, so the melted ice cube will take up less space and cause the water level to decrease.
The shape of an ice cube does not significantly affect its water level percent. As long as the ice cube is the same size and density, the water level percent will be the same regardless of its shape. However, irregularly shaped ice cubes may displace more water and lead to a slightly lower water level percent compared to perfectly shaped cubes of the same size and density.
