Question

An iceberg (density=917 kg/m^3) is floating in seawater (density=1025 kg/m^3). The iceberg has a volume of 8000 m^3. What volume of the iceberg is below the water line? (Unit=m^3)

Answer 1

Answer:

7157 m³

Explanation:

The weight of the iceberg equals the buoyancy force.

W = B

mg = ρVg

m = ρV

917 kg/m³ × 8000 m³ = 1025 kg/m³ × V

V = 7157 m³

Answer 2

Answer:

7,157

Explanation:

Hi!

Use this equation to solve this problem:

Fb=ρfl*g*Vfl

where

Fb=buoyant force

ρfl=density of the fluid

g=gravity (9.80)

Vfl =volume of the iceberg (here)
