An iceberg is floating partially immerse...

An iceberg is floating partially immersed in sea water. The density of sea water is `1.03 g cm^(-3)` and that of ice is`0.92 g cm^(-3)`. The approximate percentage of total volume of iceberg above the level of sea water is

A

`8`

B

`11`

C

`34`

D

`89`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

`(V-/_\V)xx1.03xxg=Vxx0.92xxg`
or `(V-/_\V)/V=0.92/1.03`
or `(/_\V)/V=1-0.92/1.03=0.11/1.03` or `(/_\V)/Vxx100=11/1.03~~11`
