Iceberg floats in water with part of it ...

Iceberg floats in water with part of it submerged. What is the fraction of the volume of iceberg submerged if the density of ice is `rho_i = 0.917 g cm^(-3) ?`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Let V be the total volume of the ice berg and `upsilon` be the volume of ice berg submerged in water. As ice berg is floating, the weight of ice berge is equal to weight of water dieplaced by immersed part of ice berg. So `V rho_(ice) g= upsilon rho_w g or (upsilon)/(V) = (rho_(ice))/(rho_w) = (0.917 g//cm^3)/(1g//cm^3) = 0.917`
