The density of ice is y gram/litre and that of water is x gram/litre. What is the change in volume when m gram of ice melts?
Initial volume = Initial mass/Initial density = m/y ---(i)
Final volume = Final mass/Final density ---(ii)
Change in volume = Final volume - Initial volume
OR m/x - m/y
OR m(1/x - 1/y)
Change in volume = m(1/x -1/y)
Final volume = Final mass/Final density ---(ii)
Change in volume = Final volume - Initial volume
OR m/x - m/y
OR m(1/x - 1/y)
Change in volume = m(1/x -1/y)
