Which part of the iceberg displaces water equal in weight to the buoyant force?explain.

Biology

4 0

The iceberg has weight Wi = Mig and the buoyant force is equal to the weight of the displaced water, Ww = Mwg. Furthermore, since the iceberg is floating, its weight exactly balances the buoyant force:


Ww = Wi
Mwg = Mig
VwRhowg = ViRhoig
Vw = Rhoi/Rhow Vi

So, the fraction of ice underwater, Vw/Vi, is given by the ratio of densities Rhoi/Rhow=0.87. Over 87% of an iceberg's volume (and mass) is underwater. As you can see, the convenient definition of the gram gives us a quick way to see how much of a floating substance lies below the surface of fresh water: the fraction is equal to that substance's mass density in g/cm?.

Summary

<span>Archimede's Principle of bouyancy states that the bouyant force on an object is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by that object.<span>The underwater fraction of a substance floating on water is given by that substance's mass density in g/cm3.</span></span>

solniwko [45]

Answer:

Due to lack of nutrients in the soil.

Explanation:

Within a few years the forest was dying because there is no nutrient is present in the soil which can trigger the growth and development of the sol. The fallen parts of trees such as branches, tree and leaves etc are decomposed by decomposers such as bacteria and fungi which turn the fallen materials into nitrogenous materials which can be used by the plant for its growth and development.
