Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium
Iceberg floats in sea water with a part of it submerged. The percentage fraction of the iceberg submerged is (Density of ice = 0.9 g cm⁻³, density of sea water = 1.1 g cm⁻³)
A
18%
B
12%
C
10%
D
8%
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
The iceberg floats in sea water with a part of it submerged. The volume of the iceberg submerged is proportional to the density ratio of ice to sea water. Using the formula for buoyancy, the percentage of the iceberg submerged is calculated as 18%.
