A block of ice floats on water inside a container. If the block of ice gets completely melted, the level of water in the container will
Answer Details
When the block of ice floats on water, a part of it is submerged in the water and the remaining part is above the water. When the ice melts, it turns into water, and its volume decreases. However, the mass of the ice is equal to the mass of the water produced after melting. Therefore, the water produced from the melting of the ice will occupy the same volume as the submerged part of the ice. As a result, the water level in the container will remain the same after the ice melts, and so the correct answer is "remain the same".
