dude, not sure what you're trying to say at all. volume is set with the ice, when it melts, the volume doesn't change. now feel free to link to an experiment that less fluid ends up in a glass.no it doesn't, it would displace less volume if anything. but the volume is set by the ice.Well logic would say if ice is expanded liquid, then the volume in the glass is maxed out with ice. No way it melting would do anything, as I stated. Not sure your point to me?Nope, the water level does not rise 1/100th of an inch. Zip. Volume displaced is same volume
Actually, because ice expands once the water freezes, the ice in a glass displaces a larger volume than the water will occupy once it is melted. Although it would be hard to see or measure, the water level in the glass would actually decrease.
You said: "Volume displaced is same volume". That is not entirely true. Ice displaces more water because it is in an expanded state. You generally are dead on the money!
That's what I just said. Less does not equal the same thing, which is what YOU said originally. Read the quotes.
