Would the density of an ice cube have the same density as an iceberg the size of an entire school?

I would expect it to have more or less the same density, since it is made of the same material.

Where is the largest iceberg in the world?
The worlds largest iceberg would be: Iceberg B-15. It is located at Antarctica.
Can an iceberg sink?
no. it melts An iceberg will float as long as it is in water. If you could put an iceberg in a liquid less dense than ice, the iceberg would sink.
What is the name of a chunk of rock ice or metal?
IcebergI believe they are called icebergs... The process is called calving though
What percentage of an iceberg is below water and why?
Any object that is floating will displace a mass of fluid equal to the mass of the floating object. Since the density of an iceberg is about 90% of the density of seawater most of the iceberg will be under water to create enough buoyancy to support the bit above the water. About 10% will be above the water. Pure ice has a density of about 916.7 kg/m³. Surface seawater has a typical density of about 1027 kg/m³. We can use these figures to work out that 1m³ of ice has a mass of 916.7kg. The amount of seawater that needs to be displaced to support this ice is 916 ÷ 1027 = 0.892m³. Since any object that is floating will displace a mass of fluid equal to the mass of the floating object we know that our 1m³ iceberg will have 0.892m³ under the water and 0.108m³ above the water. i.e. 89.2% underwater and 10.8% above the water. The percentages will be the same for any size iceberg. Since the density of Sea Water can vary and icebergs are not completely pure water there will be a bit of variation from these figures, a figure of 10% is normally used.
What vegetable has the least nutritional value?
My guess would be that the vegetable with the least nutritional value would be iceberg lettuce.
What fraction of an iceberg of density 910kg per cubic meter would be above the surface in the sea where the density of sea water is 1170kg per cubic meter?
About 2/9ths of the berg would be above the water. Can you detail out?

Should of the titanic of hit the iceberg streat on?
Titanic hitting the iceberg straight on has been proposed many times. There is a picture of the Arizona which had a head-on collision and although she survived it with a crumpled bow, it's agreed that at the speed Titanic was heading, a head-on impact would have been catastrophic, buckling the entire hull and she would have sunk in minutes, not hours.
What cause leave to be clear on iceberg lettuce?
There is a certain type of butterfly that feeds on the colour of iceberg lettuce. If they didn't exist, iceberg lettuce would be bright pink!
What would happen if you put an iceberg in the desert?
It would MELT!
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.
What decade did the Titanic hit an iceberg?
The Titantic hit an iceberg and sank on April 15, 1912. That would be the 1910s.
If the density of a small gold ring is 8 times the density of water what would be the density of a large gold bar 100 times the size of the ring?
The density of gold is 19.3g per cm3. The density of water is 1g per cm3. This doesn't change whether you have a tiny speck of gold or a giant lump the size of an iceberg. If a small gold ring has a density of only 8 times the density of water, then I'm sorry but you've been ripped off. It's not real gold, it is in fact iron.
Can you see the iceberg that the titanic crashed into?
The actual iceberg would have surely been dissolved in a few days that far south.
Where would you most likely find an iceberg?
Ocean
