To solve the problem of determining what fraction of an iceberg is submerged beneath the surface of the sea, we can use Archimedes' principle. Here’s a step-by-step solution: ### Step 1: Understand the Problem We need to find the fraction of the iceberg that is submerged in the sea. We know the densities of sea water and ice. ### Step 2: Identify Given Data - Density of sea water, \( \rho_{water} = 1.028 \times 10^3 \, \text{kg/m}^3 \) - Density of ice, \( \rho_{ice} = 0.917 \times 10^3 \, \text{kg/m}^3 \) ...
