A 130000 tonne iceberg is roughly the shape of a cube. Assuming sea water density of 1025 kg/m6 and ice density of 917 kg/m3 how high does the iceberg rise above the water level (m)? please show all work
Solution
By dividing the density of ice and water, we get the % of ice under water,
Thus ht under water= (917/1025)*ht
Thus, ht over water= 0.11* ht
Volume of cube= mass/ density
= 1300000*103/917
= 1417666.303
Side of cube= 112m
Height above water= 112* .11
= 12.3mts
