Let V be the volume of the ice cube and U be the volume of the cube immersed in water
density of water at 4oC = 0.998 g/cm³
density of ice at 0oC = 0.917 g/cm³
Weight of the ice cube = volume * density * g = 0.917*V*g [N]
Buoyancy on the ice cube = volume * density * g = 0.988*U*g [N]
Apply Newton's 3rd Law of Motion to the floating ice cube:
0.917*V*g = 0.988*U*g
U/V = 0.928 = 92.8%
Hence, 92.8% of the ice cube is immersed in water, or 7.2% of the ice cube is above water. The answer in percent can be converted to a fraction as follows: 7.2/100.

What else can I help you with?
Do pieces of ice float in salt water?
I think that salty ice cube do float in water because ice bergs float it water and they're made of salty water. i think i depends on the density (Amount of salt) in the ice
Does ice float on water because of cohesion?
Ice floats on water because it is less dense than liquid water. When water freezes and forms ice, the water molecules arrange themselves in a crystalline structure that causes the ice to be less dense. This is why ice floats on water rather than sinking.
Why does ice flaot on water?
Ice floats on water because it is less dense than liquid water. When water freezes, its molecules form a crystalline structure that spaces them apart, making ice less compact than liquid water. This lower density causes ice to float on water.
What evidence in the picture proves ice has less density than water?
the ice cubes are floating in the water
Notes on the density of ice compared to water?
Ice floats -its less dense than water by about 10%.
Why ice floats in in water?
The reason why ice will float in water is because ice is not as dense as water, therefore, it floats.
Why ice floats on water and does not sink?
Ice is less dense than water, so it floats.
When does ice float in water?
Ice floats in water whenever you PUT ice in water, That's so simple. Whenever you put ice in water it floats ALL THE TIME!
How does ice floats on water?
It is less dense than water, therefore it floats on water.
When does water float and why does it float?
Water floats when it is in the solid phase, called ice. Ice floats because the density of ice is less than the density of water.
Which liquids will an ice cube floats?
ice cubes floats in the water, because it is in the liquid form
Can float on water?
Of course. Fresh water floats on salt water, warmer water floats on cooler water, and ice floats on any water.
How quickly does ice sink in water?
Ice generally floats in water.
When ice floats some part of ice stays under water and some part below the water why?
Because some ice has more salt in it than other bits of ice so the ice with the most salt would float better.
Do pieces of ice float in salt water?
I think that salty ice cube do float in water because ice bergs float it water and they're made of salty water. i think i depends on the density (Amount of salt) in the ice
Why ice cube floats on water?
Ice is less dense than water.
Does ice float on water because of cohesion?
