Water level change for melting ice cube

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around determining the effect on water level when an ice cube melts in a container. Key variables include the volume of the cavity, density, volume of the cube, surface area of the container, and the height of the liquid column. The principle of buoyancy is central, as the weight of the displaced water equals the weight of the floating ice cube. Participants express difficulty in visualizing the setup due to an inaccessible image and suggest describing the problem in detail for clarity. Ultimately, the consensus is to calculate the weight of the displaced water to understand the water level change upon melting.

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).

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'

In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanged mass'

Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
