Question

An iceberg of density 700 kg/m³ is floating in the water of density 1000 kg/m³. The percentage of the volume of ice cube outside the water is:

Options

• 30%

• 40%

• 50%

• 60%

Answer 1

30%

Explanation:

`("V"_"out")/"V" = (1 - ρ/σ)`

= `(1000 - 700)/1000`

= `300/1000`

`("V"_"out")/"V" xx 100`

= `300/1000 xx 100`

= 30%
