A block of ice is floating in a liquid of specific gravity 1.2 contained in a beaker. When the ice melts completely the liquid level would
Options:
Answer:
B
Solution:
The ice displaces a volume of liquid equal to its weight. Since the liquid is denser than water (specific gravity > 1), the melted water occupies less volume than the displaced liquid, causing the level to fall.
Concepts: Archimedes' Principle, Buoyancy, Density, Specific Gravity.
