Question

An iceberg floats with 1/9 of volume above water. Density of ice is (ρ_water = 1000 kg/m³):
  1. A
    889 kg/m³
    Correct
  2. B
    900 kg/m³
  3. C
    800 kg/m³
  4. D
    950 kg/m³

Correct answer

889 kg/m³

Explanation

Fraction submerged = 8/9 = ρ_ice/ρ_water → ρ_ice = 8000/9 ≈ 889 kg/m³.
