To find the fraction of an iceberg that is submerged beneath the surface of the sea, we can use the principle of buoyancy, which states that the weight of the fluid displaced by the submerged part of the iceberg is equal to the weight of the iceberg itself.
### Step-by-Step Solution:
1. **Understand the Concept of Buoyancy**:
According to Archimedes' principle, the buoyant force acting on the iceberg is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the submerged part of the iceberg.
2. **Define Variables**:
