F l o a t i n g Floating I c e Ice C u b e Cube

A cube of ice of edge 4 4 c m cm is placed in an empty cylindrical tumbler of inner diameter 6 6 c m cm . Assume that ice melts uniformly from each side so that it always retains its cubical shape. Find the length of the edge of the ice cube ( i n (in c e n t i m e t e r s ) centimeters) at the instant it just leaves contact with the bottom of the glass.

D e t a i l s Details a n d and A s s u m p t i o n s Assumptions

D e n s i t y Density o f of I c e = 900 k g / m 3 Ice = 900 kg/m^3 ; ; D e n s i t y Density o f of W a t e r = 1000 k g / m 3 Water = 1000 kg/m^3


The answer is 2.26353696841807.
