Question

42 * A piece of ice is placed in a container before it is filled to the brim with water. Once the water has been poured, the top of the piece of ice then exceeds the edge of the container. Does the container overflow when the ice melts?

A. It depends on the amount of ice placed in the container at the start

B. Yes, whatever time it takes for the ice to melt

C. Not enough data to answer

D. Yes, as long as the ice melts very slowly

E. No, the melt water fills the displaced volume

Answer 1
