An iceberg floats in water with about one - tenths of its volume outside the water. What is the fractional volume submerged for an iceberg on a fresh water lake of a planet whose gravity is five times that of earth?

When an ice berg floats in water with about one- tenths of its volume outside the water. The fractional volume of ice berg submerged in water is nine tenth of its volume. The fractional volume submerged is independent of the value of ac celeration due to gravity, therefore, at the new planet, the fractional volume of ice berg submerged in water will be nine- tenths of its volume.
