Question

A block of ice has the density of 0.97 g/cm3 .


How much of it will sink below the surface of the water?



About 97 percent of the ice will sink below water.



All—100 percent—of the ice will sink below water.



None—0 percent—of the ice will sink below the water.



About 3 percent of the ice will sink below water.

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer will be about 97 percent of the ice ... option 1

Explanation:

According to the question the density of the ice is given.

Now we know that the buoyancy force is equal to the weight of the block

Now we know that the density of the water is 1gm/cm^3

Now we can say that

volumeof water/volume of ice =  density of ice/density of water = 0.97

Hence we can say that the amount of block will sink below is 97%
