Current Attempt in Progress
Occasionally, huge icebergs are found floating on the ocean's currents. Suppose one such iceberg is 122 km long, 35.7 km wide, and 177 m thick. (a) How much heat in joules would be required to melt this iceberg (assumed to be at 0C) into liquid water at 0C? The density of ice is 917kgm3.(b) The annual energy consumption by the United States in 1994 was 9.31019J. If this energy were delivered to the iceberg every year, how many years would it take before the ice melted?
(a) Number Units
(b) Number Units
