You can take Va to be volume of cavity and Di to be density and Vo to be volume of cube and A to be surface area of container and h to be height of liquid column and Vi to be volume of immerser part of cube. Prove if water level will rise or will remain same will decrease when ice melts ?

Homework Equations


weight= buoyant force as cube is floating

Still very unclear. Try describing the set up in words, and stating the problem exactly.
 
Calculate the weight of Vi (the water the ice cube is displacing).
