Q.

On a horizontal floor, two identical cylindrical vessels A and B  are connected by a thin tube near their bottoms contain some water. When an ice block of volume 80cm3  is gently put inside the vessel A, it gets half-submerged in the water. How much mass of water (in grams)will flow through the connecting tube during the process of melting of the ice cube?  Density of water is 1000  kg/m3  and density of ice is  900  kg/m3

Detailed Solution

80  cm3 of ice or 72 gms of ice displaced 72  cm3  of water when floating, since data specifies 40  cm3 to be submerged, the ice block must be in contact with horizontal surface on melting the excess 32  cm3 of water formed must distribute equally. 

Hence the amount of water flowing to equalise pressure is 16 gm.
