Does Archimedes' Principle mean that Melting ice will not cause water rise? - archimedes bath
I'm not sure I understand the director.
When you fill the bathtub with water that is a foot deep and then add more ice cubes if they were swimming in the water. Then mark the water level in the bathtub. When the ice melts at the same thing?

Archimedes Bath Does Archimedes' Principle Mean That Melting Ice Will Not Cause Water Rise?

Yes, the water level remains the same. When ice is added to water, 1 / 5 of the ice above the water and is 4/5ht visible below the surface.
Since the volume of ice is more than water (due to abnormal enlargement of the water) when the ice melts, it takes the space previously occupied by 4 / 5 or ice, and thus the amount of "water is the same.
The water will lead immediately to ensure that the addition of ice. Since the Archimedes principle states that "the immersed volume of the body equal to the volume of liquid displaced. The increase in the amount of water through the solid ice.
But assuming that the water used to produce the ice has the same density as water, then the ice will be covered with water from above. Now, when the ice melts, the water level remains the same with the amount of set / add ice.
According to the principle of Archimedes, the reasoning is correct, the ice displaces water equal to its own mass, and when it melts, the water is the mass and volume. However, if the water in the bath was 4C and melting ice cooled water 1C then everything would have expanded a bit, so I think it might be somewhat higher. (Water expands 4C 1C)
