Question
What fraction of the volume of an iceberg (density 917 kg/m3) would be visible if the iceberg floats in (a) the ocean (salt water, density 1024 kg/m3) and (b) in a river (fresh water, density 998 kg/m3)? (When salt water freezes to form ice, the salt is excluded. So, an iceberg could provide fresh water to a community.)

- You put a marble on a balance and find it has a mass of 1.2 grams. It is an irregular shape, so you need to do displacement to find its volume. You put it in a graduated cylinder with a starting volume of 30.0 mL of water. After you add the marble, the water rises to 31.5 mL. What is the density? Group of answer choices 0.038 g/mL 1.3 g/mL 0.80 g/mL 1.8 g/mLarrow_forwardThe iceberg that sunk Titanic was estimated to be 150 m in length and 33 m above the water the ocean surface.
