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

Given , density of ice `(rho_("ice"))=0.917 g//cm^(3)`
Density of water `(rho_(w))=1 g//cm^(3)`
Let V be te total volume of the iceberg and V' of its volume be submerged in water. In floating condition.
Weight of the iceberg=Weight of the water displaced by the submerged part by ice
`Vrho_("ice")g=V'rho_(w)g`
or `(V')/(V)=(rho_("ice"))/(rho_(w))=(0.917)/(1)=0.917" "(because ` Weight =mg=`vrhog)`
