What size was the iceberg that sunk the Titanic?

The exact size of the iceberg will probably never be known, but according to early newspaper reports the height and length of the iceberg was approximated at 50 to 100 feet high and 200 to 400 feet long. However, these dimensions only relate to the estimated size above water. Around 85% of an iceberg is below water. Therefore multiplying the estimates you have an iceberg with a volume of between 810,00 and 3,240,000 square feet.I'm not sure what you're asking so I'm going to interpret it as "when the Titanic struck and iceberg, how much of that iceberg was above water?". The iceberg that the Titanic struck looked small because only about a ninth (1/9) of the iceberg was above water. In reality, the iceberg was immense, with the rest (8/9) of it underwater. A portion of the berg that was underwater sunk the Titanic.

There is no maximum size that icebergs can have; they will be as big as gravity, temperature and 'local' factors will allow.The largest iceberg that has so far been documented, was an Antarctic iceberg that measured 335 x 97 kilometers (208 x 60 miles) which is larger than the country of Belgium.

How is compression like an iceberg?

Compression is like an iceberg because only a small portion of the data size is visible, similar to the tip of the iceberg. The majority of the data is hidden beneath the surface, representing the significant reduction in file size achieved through compression techniques.


The part of an iceberg which is below water is about seven times the size of the part above water What fraction of the iceberg is above water?

Since the part below the water is 7 times the size of the part above water, the total size of the iceberg can be divided into 8 equal parts (7 parts below water + 1 part above water). Therefore, the fraction of the iceberg above water is 1/8.
