To solve the problem of determining the fraction of the volume of an iceberg that is submerged in water, we can use Archimedes' principle. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of the solution: ### Step 1: Understand the forces acting on the iceberg When an iceberg floats, the weight of the iceberg is balanced by the buoyant force exerted by the water. The weight of the iceberg can be expressed as: \[ \text{Weight of iceberg} = \rho_i \cdot V \cdot g \] where: ...
