What fraction of the volume of an iceberg (density 917 kg/m3) would be visible if the iceberg
Question:
What fraction of the volume of an iceberg (density 917 kg/m3) would be visible if the iceberg floats?
(a) In the ocean (salt water, density 1024 kg/m3) and
(b) In a river (fresh water, density 1000 kg/m3)? (When salt water freezes to form ice, the salt is excluded. So, an iceberg could provide fresh water to acommunity.)
Step by Step Answer:
Let V be the total volume of the iceberg The nonvisible portion i...View the full answer

Density helps us predict whether something will float. Density is super important to consider when building things like ships and submarines. The experiment in the video examines the water density by comparing a glass of water containing sugar with a simple glass of water
