Ice in the Glass

A glass of water is filled to the brim with ice cubes floating in it. When the ice melts, does the water overflow?

Hint: Floating objects displace their own weight.

Answer

No, the level stays the same.

Floating ice displaces exactly its own weight in water. When it melts it becomes that same amount of water, so the level doesn't change.
