CBSEENPH11026116

An ice-cube of density 900 kg /m3 is floating in water of density 1000 kg / m3. The percentage of volume of ice-cube outside the water is

  • 20%

  • 35%

  • 10%

  • 25%

Solution

C.

10%

Density is quantity of mass per unit volume. 

ρ =mV

A liquid is largely incompressible and its density is nearly constant at all pressures The percentage of the volume  of ice cube outside the water

=ρwater - ρiceρwater×100=1000-9001000×100=10%
