Question

an iceberg floats with _ of it's volume over water.

Answer 1

Answer:

At the point of equalizing their weights, it starts floating. So in the case of ice by virtue of its density being lighter the sinking process can go on upto 92 % its volume of the iceberg immersed in water while the remaining 8 % floating. Because 92% of water displaced will equal the weight of the solid ice floating.

Answer 2

Answer:

V/10 where V is the volume of ICEBERG

Explanation:

we know the formula

V X ρB  = v1 x ρw

where V  is the volume of ICEBERG ,  ρB is the density of iceberg = 0.9 = 9/10  g/cm^3

v1 is the volume of the iceberg inside the water

ρw = density of water = 1 g/cm^3

V X 9/10 = v1 x 1

v1 = 9V/10

SO volume of ice inside the water 9V/10

volume of ice above the water V-9V/10 = V/10
