Question

A block of ice with a lead shot embedded in It is floating on water contained in a vessel. The temperature of the system is maintained at $0^{\circ }$ C as the ice melts. When the ice melts completely the level of water in the vessel rises.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

According to Archemedies principle if any object is floating on a liquid the weight of the liquid displaced is equal to the weight of the object, when the block of ice melts the bullet ultimately sink in water and displaces the same volume of water as its own volume was, but when it was embedded in the ice it displaced move volume, therefore level of water will fall.
