Wetlands play a vital role in the health of the environment. In addition to supporting a variety of organisms, they also reduce water erosion by trapping sediments. Wetlands help clean water by absorbing nutrients that are added to the water supply through agriculture and industry.

Which part of the iceberg displaces water equal in weight to the buoyant force?explain.
ohaa [14]

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>

Why do non-vascular plants need moisture
natima [27]
They lack roots and any sort of transportation system within their them, so they place themselves in moist environments close to water. This way, they can absorb water quickly and easily.
