An iceberg is floating partially immersed in sea water the density of sea water is 1.03 `gm//cm^(3)` and that of ice is `0.92gm//cm^(3)` what is the fraction of the total volume of the iceberg above the level of sea-water?

A

`3%`

B

`11%`

C

`89%`

D

`92%`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
For the floatation of ice-berg, Weight of ice = upthrust due to displaced water
`Vrhog = V_("in")sigma g implies V_("in") = ((rho)/(sigma))V = ((0.92)/(1.03))V = 0.89V " or" " " therefore(V_("in"))/(V)=0.89" or "89%`.
