Question

It is estimated that 93 percent of an iceberg’s volume is below the surface, while only 7 percent is visible above the surface. For seawater with a density of 1025 kg/m3, estimate the density of the iceberg.

Answer 1

Answer:

953.25kg/m3

Explanation:

The percent of iceberg volume submerged = $\frac{iceberg density}{water density}$

$\frac{iceberg density}{1025} = 0.93\\iceberg density = 1025 x 0.83\\iceberg density = 953.25kg/m^{3}$
