An ice-berg of density 900 kgm-3 is floating in the water of density 1000 kgm-3. The percentage of the volume of ice-berg outside the water is

  • 20%

  • 35%

  • 10%

  • 11%

Solution

C.

10%

Let the volume of ice-berg is V and its density is ρ. If this ice-berg floats in water with volume Vin inside it, then Vin σg = Vρg

Vin = ρσV Vout = V - Vin = σ - ρσ V = 1000-9001000 V = V10VoutV = 0.1 = 10%
