    Can we understand in below way?
    The temperature of the water before melting of ice will be higher but after melting of ice temperature will decreases which make volume decrease but the volume of ice floating above the level of water will counterbalance it so the overall volume of water will remain same.

    • @yoprofmatt
      @yoprofmatt  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Mahendrasingh,
      Forget temperature, think of it this way: The buoyant force = weight of displaced fluid. The ice has a mass m but it floats because the buoyant force = mg. This amounts to a region of displaced fluid that is exactly equal to the amount of water mass in the iceberg. And when the iceberg melts, it just fills up this region of displaced fluid, thus the level does not change.

    It's easier to explain by noting that water expands as it freezes. Meaning, it gets less dense, allowing it to float. (ie. put water in a plastic container and freeze it and it will rupture the container. Conversely, when ice melts, it becomes more dense.

      When Arctic and Antarctic ice melt due to global warming, we should also look at the warming of the sea in other areas of the world. As temperature goes up, seawater gets less dense, which means the volume of seawater goes up, hence sea levels will rise.

    Hello Professor, this is my first time here. I'd like to ask, why the water level does not decrease after adding ice cubes? Because the volume they displace should be equivalent to the visible dimensions of the cube, but as it melts into the denser, more compact liquid form, there should be reduction in space required, thus reduction in the water level from the point when the cube was just released into the bucket, when the total level is volume of water + volume of cube(s)?

    Dr. Anderson, could you please explain why the water level increases in the case where the ice is initially stacked all the way to the bottom of the container and elevates way above the initial water level? Could this be explained by the fact that the weight of the ice would now be equal to the sum of the buoyant force and the normal force that the bottom of the container exerts on the ice?

    • @TheTMFD
      @TheTMFD 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      If the ice is stacked from the bottom, you could stack it as high as wanted. If it’s stacked 3 foot high, there’s no way all that melting ice can fit in the container. All that weight isn’t accounted for in the displacement because it’s weight is held by its own structure. Hope I worded this in a way that helps.

  • @4TheRecord
    @4TheRecord 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Before seeing the answer I would like to try and give an answer even if I risk getting it wrong or looking like a fool.
    My idea is that the weight of the ice displaces the water around it and so when the ice melts the weight of that added water (once an ice cube) should remain the same so the water should not rise.

      The ice at the north pole is floating. There is no land under it and it only averages about 6" thick. This is the mass that they talk about getting smaller. It would not raise the water level.

      Karthik, great point!
      Of course, the density of water varies very little with temperature so we can likely neglect it.
      In fact, from 20° C to 0° C (room temperature to near freezing), the density increases by only about 0.2%. In fact, over the whole range from 0° C to 100° C (not including freezing or boiling, of course), the density varies by only 4%.

    @suhailsahib21 ปีที่แล้ว

    In the case of presence of an air bubble, wouldn't the air have some mass? Let's consider Vo to be the immersed volume initially. Now, after the ice melts, wouldn't the volume that is created due to the melting of the ice be a bit lesser Vo since the mass of the air isn't considered? This would result in a slight decrease in the water level. Or do we say it doesn't change at all since this height difference is almost negligible due to air being so light? Mathematically treating this case :sigma = density of water, V = Total volume of the ice cube. [m(air) + m(ice) ]* g = sigma * Vo * g ==> Vo = [m(air) + m(ice) ]/sigma. Now after the ice melts, the volume generated would be = m(ice)/sigma which is clearly lesser than Vo.

  • @michelef406

    Hold on one sec. The total mass of water does not change as the ice cubes melt, but since the portion of water that used to be ice is now less dense it is going to take up less space. Plus, there is no ice cube pushing up the level of water up so i would expect the level of water to fall. What am i missing here?

      This is a tricky one. The ice cube certainly takes up less space than it used to, but it occupies exactly the amount of water that it displaced when it was floating.

    But should it not change slightly? When the ice is initially floating, the volume of water it displaces will lead to an increase in height of water in the container uniformly, except in the portion where the ice cube is protruding. After all the ice has melted, the volume of water displaced will come back and fill the void created by melted ice, but the water obtained from melted ice will lead to an increase in water's height uniformly even in the area where the ice cube was protruding. As volume is same and the area has increased, height should fall slightly.

    I have an issue with this example since people often use it as an attempted proof against sea level rise. Ice cubes don't sit above the water. They sit nearly level with it when free floating. The ice being referred to in the proof of sea level rise is above sea level. There are millions of cubic miles of ice at the poles NOT in the water. Ad that to our oceans and you have a notable volume change. That's not even getting into the chemical composition of the water and the effect that has on life and weather. But yeah, ice cubes and cups of tap water are great.

      In fact when floating icebergs melt they DO increase the sea level slightly because icebergs are fresh water and the ocean is salt water. But this effect is very small (certainly small compared to melting of land-based ice). You can solve it quickly and see that the volume of the melted iceberg is bigger than the (formerly) displaced volume by this ratio: Density of salt water / Density of fresh water = 1027/1000 = 1.027. So the melted iceberg takes up 2.7% more volume. Here's a good link: www.newscientist.com/article/dn18841-melting-icebergs-boost-sea-level-rise/

    What happen if the temp. of water (where the ice float )at 0°c and 4°c and above 4°c ??

    • @yoprofmatt
      @yoprofmatt  6 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      Good question. In our experiment, we are assuming that water has more or less the same density at different temperatures (other than when it turns to ice). This is an okay assumption but strictly speaking it is not exactly true.
      At 4°c, water has its highest density. This means that an ice cube floating in 4°c water will be sticking up the most, since it has to displace a smaller volume of water to balance its weight. When it melts, however, this requires some heat. If the block of ice turns into 4°c water, it will still just fill this exact volume and the water level will not change. But if the melting block of ice turns into 3°c water, then it lowers the overall temperature of the water, and the entire water level will increase slightly.
      Conversely, if the water is at 5°c and the melting block of ice lowers the overall temperature to 4°c, then the water level will decrease slightly.
      Note, however, that these corrections in density for a degree or two on either side of 4°c are on the order of one part in 10,000.
      At 0°c, it gets tricky since ice crystals start forming in the water. So it's tough to say what will happen since the water could be freezing or staying liquid.
      Thanks for the comment.

      When ocean ice melts due to global warming, assuming that the ice is in the same physical conditions like in this video, then it wouldn't make sea levels rise. However, when that happens, we should also look at the warming of the sea in other areas of the world. As temperature goes up, seawater gets less dense, which means the volume of seawater goes up, hence sea levels will rise.

    So since icebergs main mass is inside the water and as ice it is expanded why when it melts the water levels stay the same? It should make the water level drop by a tiny fraction. Thermal expansion is tiny when you are just above the melting point so it makes no sense to take that into account. What am I missing?

    • @yoprofmatt
      @yoprofmatt  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      If there was an air bubble in the cube, the water level would remain the same.
      If the ice cube was melted from inside, it would not change the outcome.
      If there was a nail in the ice cube, the water level would fall once the ice cube melted. This last one takes a bit of thinking, so try this: When the nail is in the ice cube, it pushes a lot of water out of the way to hold it up. But when the ice cube melts, the nail sinks to the bottom and the normal force from the floor helps hold it up, thus not as much water gets pushed out of the way. Thus the water level falls. This is a very famous physics problem about a kid in a boat with a load of bricks. Throw the bricks into the water, does the water level rise, fall, or stay the same. Similar scenario, and the water level falls.
      Good questions, keep them coming.

      David Keck you are right about how the cold causes more deaths than warming. I’ve worked with NOAA for the last 38 years, the problem I have with the IPCC sea level models is they neglect to disclose their measurements are effected by the cyclical ENSO phase which greatly effects sea levels rising and falling. They spin the data to fit their climate crisis narrative.

      Hi Breanna,
      Don't give her a hard time. This is a very tricky question.
      Now about global warming. If your question relates to sea level rise and why that is happening, I would say this: When icebergs floating around in the ocean melt, the sea level does not change. But when glaciers sitting on solid earth (like on Greenland) melt, that water does run into the ocean and increases the sea level.

As mass decreases on the landmass, and transfer that mass to the ocean, would not the landmass rise due to decreased mass on a liquid body (magma) would not the additional mass cause the floor of the ocean to have more displacement? They are different compounds (water & Magma) but wouldn't this explain why despite 100 years of melting of glaciers around the world, that there has been almost no sea rise? Even if the melting water came from Greenland and not Florida, would not Florida also experience a landmass rise due to more mass applied to the ocean floor?
