Problem 10-30.
Let the total volume of the iceberg be V and the
volume of the iceberg under water be V'.
Mass of iceberg = Density of ice Volume of ice
= 0.917 1000 V
= 917V
Mass of sea water displaced = Density of sea water Volume of sea water displaced
= 1.025 1000 V'
= 1025V
Since the iceberg is floating on the sea water,
Mass of iceberg = Mass of sea water displaced (Archimedes' principle)
917V=1025V'
Fraction of iceberg under water = = = 0.894
Fraction of iceberg above water = 1- 0.894 = 0.106
= 10.6%
