Fluid mechanics/Dynamics of fluids

An iceberg of  =912 kgf/m³ floats in the ocean (D.R.= 1.025)  emerges from the water with a volume 300m³

a) Total volume of the iceberg?

b) Weight of the iceberg out of the water?

c) Apparent weight of the iceberg in the water?

d) Volume exposed out of water represented in percentage %?

Solution

(a) Solution:-

Total volume of iceberg = 600 + 300 = 900 m³ Answer

(b) Solution:-

Weight of iceberg out of water = total volume * density of iceberg

Weight of iceberg out of water = 900 * 912 = 820.8 * 10³ kg    Answer

(c) Solution:-

Apparent weight of iceberg = weight of water displaced due to iceberg

Apparent weight of iceberg = 300 * density of sea water

Apparent weight of iceberg = 300 * 1024

Apparent weight of iceberg = 307.2 *10³   kg     Answer

(d) Answer:-

% volume exposed out of water = (600/900) *100

% volume exposed out of water = 66.67   Answer
