So if the mass of water displaced= mass of ice then:
density of water * volume of water displace = density of ice * volume of ice
So
(Volume of water displaced)/(volume of ice) =1 and you would subtract 1 from density of ice/ density of water
Is that right?
I though that the answer to this division (which is actually 1.119) was the volume of the iceberg that is under water. Sorry, I do not quite understand.
So the 1.101 is the mass of the iceberg? and the mass of the water displaced? But I thought that was the volume of the iceberg that is under the water.
Homework Statement
The density of ice is 920kg/m^3, and the density of sea water is 1030kg/m^3. What is the fraction of the total volume of an iceberg that is exposed?
given:
density sea water = 1030kg/m^3
density ice = 920kg/m^3
