To find the fraction of the volume of a piece of ice that is floating outside the water, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Problem We have a piece of ice floating in water. The density of ice is given as \( \rho_i = 900 \, \text{kg/m}^3 \) and the density of water is \( \rho_w = 1000 \, \text{kg/m}^3 \). We need to find the fraction of the volume of the ice that is above the water. ### Step 2: Set Up the Equilibrium Condition For an object floating in a fluid, the weight of the object is equal to the buoyant force acting on it. This can be expressed as: \[ ...
