You have a glass of water with several ice cubes, and mark the water level in the glass. Eventually the ice melts. What happens to the water level in the glass?
If the ice is floating in a glass, the water level will stay the same after the ice melts. The water level would only go down if the ice had been forcibly held submerged deeper than it would otherwise float if it were free to do so.
Increases in level
You are enjoying your breakfast after having put some salt on your scrambled eggs when your nerdy brother presents you with an ice cube floating in a glass of water and a short length of string. He challenges you to remove the ice cube from the glass using the string without tying any knots. What strategy do you use to remove the ice cube from the water glass?
A milkman sells milk after mixing water to it to such a level that ratio of water and milk becomes 9:41 in a mixture. If he sells at a mark-up rate of 12%, what is his actual profit percentage?
A man walked in to a bar and asked for a glass of water.
The bartender took out a gun and pointed it at him.
The man who had asked for the glass of water just smiled, thanked him and walked away happy.
Why?
There is a brick of gold and a brick of iron in a boat (both 10 inch blocks), if they are both dropped into the water which will make the water level higher?
