Ice has a density of 0.92 g/cm³ and seawater has a density of 1.04 g/cm³. Determine the total volume of a floating iceberg if 30 m³ is above the seawater.
Provided that the
Density of ice is =
Density of sea water
Volume of Ice berg above water
If v' is the volume of ice berg immersed in water
then as per the law of floatation =
v' = 0.88361 V
Volume of the iceberg over the surface of sea water is obtained by:
V(1 - 0.8846) =
V=
