Answer:
An iceberg floats with approximately 1/7 of its volume in the air as is shown in the "Iceberg" figure. If the wind velocity is U and the water is stationary, the speed at which the wind forces the iceberg through the water is about:
Hint:
i. Assume the drag coefficients for the exposed and submerged portions are equal.
ii. Take the area ratio of the exposed and submerged portions as the (volume ratio)2/
3volume in air 을 volume in water
