The density of ice is 0.92g/cm3. An iceberg with a total volume of 300m3 is floating in pure water. Ignore the melting of ice, calculate (a) how much buoyant force is the water acting on the iceberg, and (b) how much volume of the iceberg (in m3, cubic meters) is submerged under water.

    1. ***present all the calculations*** Part I: The density of seawater is approximately 1.027g / cm3 and the ice density 0.93g / cm3. United Nations Iceberg (iceberg), generally has a mass of 150,000 metric tons (1 metric ton = 1000kg). Calculation (a) The buoyant force exerted by the water on the "iceberg", (b) the volume of the iceberg above sea level, (c) the volume fraction above sea level.

    If you have ever heard the term 'the tip of the iceberg' you probably know that the amount of an iceberg you see floating in the ocean is only a small amount of the total volume of the iceberg. Most of the iceberg is submerged. For this problem we will determine the ratio of the submerged iceberg volume to the volume above water. Assume we see a volume of 1000 m^3 of ice above the water. The density of water...

    What fraction of the volume of an iceberg (density 917 kg/m3) would be visible if the iceberg floats in (a) the ocean (salt water, density 1024 kg/m3) and (b) in a river (fresh water, density 998 kg/m3)? (When salt water freezes to form ice, the salt is excluded. So, an iceberg could provide fresh water to a community.)

    The density of seawater is approximately 1.027g / cm^3 and the ice density 0.93g / cm^3. An iceberg typically has a mass of 150,000 metric tons (1 metric ton = 1000kg). Calculate: (a) The buoyant force exerted by the water on the "iceberg" (b) the volume of the iceberg above sea level, (c) the volume fraction above sea level.

    3. Archimedes' Principle states that the buoyant force on an object partially or fully submerged in a fluid is equal to the weight of the fluid that the object displaces. For an object of density po floating partly submerged in a fluid of density pf, the buoyant force is given by F P19 SA(y)dy, where g is the acceleration due to gravity and A(y) is the area of a typical cross-section of the object. The weight of the object is...
