AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem of finding the fraction of the volume of the iceberg that is below the water surface, we can use the principle of flotation. Here are the steps to arrive at the solution: ### Step 1: Understand the Principle of Flotation According to the principle of flotation, the weight of the fluid displaced by the submerged part of the iceberg is equal to the weight of the iceberg itself. ### Step 2: Set Up the Equation Let: - \( V \) = Total volume of the iceberg ...
