QUESTION:
(II) The specific gravity of ice is 0.917, whereas that of seawater is 1.025. What percent of an iceberg is above the surface of the water?
ANSWER:Step 1 of 3
Whenever an object is kept placed on the surface of water, buoyancy force acts on the object. We have to determine the fraction of the iceberg above the surface of the water.
Approach:
We can determine the fraction of an iceberg above the surface of water by weight of the water displaced by the immersed part of iceberg is equal to the total weight of iceberg.
