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

Biology
1 answer:
ohaa [14]4 years ago
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>

Are the counts of blue crabs in Maryland accurate for 1991 and 1999?
kirill [66]
The population of blue crabs will be difficult for the scientists to count because of unreliable ways and natural phenomenon or occurrence that causes the water's temperature to rise. According to climate reports, year 1999 have warmer temperature and this probably caused the blue crabs to be active, but on year 1990 female blue crabs sustained a normal quantity of production of their species. Thus, the estimated count of population of blue crabs is probably more accurate in year 1990 than year 1999 because of the stable production of the female crabs.
