You have a cube of ice floating in a glass of water. The question is what fraction of the ice will be above the water line? Assume that the ice is not bobbing.
Most of you have probably heard the answer to this before. But please provide a proof or solution, along with your assumptions.
Dear np_rt,
Please don't misunderstand me that I treat your question as lousy. I give the rate of your question within the range of 4 to 5. I give this rate out since I treat this question as an unusual case.
I do not know who is the culprit that gives the rate to your question until you get 2.5.
The reason that I give such as high rate because I have different & broader view of your question.
I treat your question as excellence since the question does not demand us only to test what is studied in the book but beyond. It causes us to think about everything in the world in general instead of scrutinizing into a question with many restrictions and limitations.
