Icebergs float in the ocean because the iceberg is less dense than the water.
Which object is denser the iceberg or the ship?
yes.if it isn't icebergs would sink.
What happens if the part of an iceberg that extends above the water was removed?
You would never be able to remove all of the iceberg that is above the water. Taking off a piece will cause the iceberg to get lighter and more of it would be above water.

Water is unusual in that as it freezes it expands, thus water's density is less when a solid than as a liquid, interestingly water is most dense around 4C.

How many cubic feet of water to move 50 tons of iceberg?
50 tons of iceberg equals 100,000 lb. It is fresh water, which weighs 62.4 lb/cu ft, so it contains 1603 cu ft of fresh water (imagine a cube, 11'9" on a side), expanded by freezing. Salt water weighs 64 lb/cu ft, so the iceberg displaces 1563 cu ft while in the ocean. How much water to float it depends on the size of the vessel it is floating in, and the kind of water used to float the iceberg. I.e. The size of the vessel, minus 1563 for salt water, or minus 1603 for fresh water, equals the amount to float it. "How [much] ...to move [it]?" has no answer.
