Consider an ice cube which floats on a beaker filled with water, containing an ison piece as shown.

Let $V$ be the volume $g$ water. displaced by ice due to mass.

$V=$ volume og water displaced.

$m_1=$ mass of ice

$m_2=$ mass of iron pitce,

$\rho_1=$ density of water,

$\rho_2=$ density of iron piece.

Now, $v=\frac{\left(m_1+m_2\right)}{\rho_1} \quad[$ before melting $]$.

And, $\quad V^{\prime}=\frac{m_1}{\rho_1}+\frac{m_2}{\rho_2} \quad[$ after melting $]$.

Since $\rho_2 > \rho_1$. So, $\quad \frac{m_2}{\rho_2} < \frac{m_2}{\rho_1}$.

Thus, $\quad v > V^{\prime}$

So, when the whole ice melts, the volume of water decreases.

    A hot air balloon is carrying some passengers, and a few sandbags of mass $1 kg$ each so that its total mass is $480 kg$. Its effective volume giving the balloon its buoyancy is $V$. The balloon is floating at an equilibrium height of $100 m$. When $N$ number of sandbags are thrown out, the balloon rises to a new equilibrium height close to $150 m$ with its volume $V$ remaining unchanged. If the variation of the density of air with height $h$ from the ground is $\rho(h)=\rho_0 e^{-\frac{h}{h_0}}$, where $\rho_0=1.25 kg m ^{-3}$ and $h _0=6000 m$, the value of $N$ is. . . . .
