To determine the mass of the iceberg, we simply multiply the density with the volume. Density is a value for mass, such as kg, divided by a value for volume, such as m3. Density is a physical property of a substance that represents the mass of that substance per unit volume. Remember that the units should be homogeneous. We calculate as follows:
mass = density x volume
mass = 0.92 g /cm^3 ( 9470 ft^3) ( 30.48 cm / 1 ft )^3 ( 1 kg / 1000 g ) = 265.55 kg
