Ice floats in water but sinks in kerosene. Why?

Ice floats on water because

A needle can float on clear water but sinks when some detergent is added to it. This happens because

(a) Ice floats in water with about wine-tenths of its volume submerged. What is the fraction sub merged for an iceberg floating on freshwater lake of a hypothetical) planet whose gravity is to times that of the earth? (b) What is the fractional volume submerged of an ice cube in a fall of water placed in an enclosure which is freely falling under gravity?

Explain why an iron nail floats on mercury, but it sinks in water.

A block of ice with a lead shot embedded in it is floating on water contained in a vessel. The temperature of the system is maintained at 0^@C as the ice melts. When the ice melts completely the level of water in the vessel rises.

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) ?

An ice cube of side 1 cm is floating at the interface of kerosene and water in a beaker of base area 10 cm^(2) . The level of kerosene is just covering the top surface of the ice cube. a. Find the depth of submergence in the kerosene and that in the water. b. Find the change in the total level of the liquid when the whole ice melts into water.

Assertion : If ice is floating in water and it melts, then level of water remains unchanged. Reason : When the ice is floating, weight of liquid displaced is equal to the weight of ice.

A plece of ice floats in a beaker containing water with a certain fraction inside water. If the density of ice is D and that of water is rho find the value of n. What will happen to the level of water when the ice completely melts ?

An ice cube floats in water. What percentage of volume is outside water. Density of water = 1g// c c , density of ice = 0.9 g// c c .
