AnswerThe density of ice is 0.9167 g/cm³. The density of salt water is 1.025 g/cm³.
0.9167 g/cm³
------------------- = 89.4% ~ 90%
1.025 g/cm³
Roughly only one eighth of an iceberg can be seen above water. The remaining seven eighths or, 87.5 percent, is submerged due to the weight distribution of the iceberg itself. Top layers of icebergs have relatively lightly packed snow, which is less dense. The more dense core of the iceberg pulls the weight down below the surface of the water. However, since ice is less dense than water, it still remains afloat.
Hope this helped some.
What else can I help you with?
How much of the Lambert glacier is covered underwater?
Only 10 percent of the iceberg are above water. That means 90 percent of the iceberg are underwater.
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.
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.
Is one half of iceberg above water?
1/8 of the iceberg is at the surface while the rest remains. This is an average iceberg (based on titanic)
Why does only 10 percent of the iceberg float on top of water?
Yes. The rule of thumb is 20 percent is visible above the water. Yes, they do float, however i believe that it's 10% that is visible due to the density of ice (0.9 g/cm) and the density of water (1g/cm). So .1 or 1 tenth of the iceberg is above the surface. (10%)
What percent of an iceberg is below water and why?
Approximately 90% of an iceberg is below water because ice is less dense than water, so a large portion of the iceberg needs to be submerged to displace enough water and stay afloat. The submerged portion is what gives icebergs their stability and makes them less likely to tip over.
If an iceberg has 90 percent of its body below the water line then why doesn't a cuise ship with 90 percent of its body above the water line roll over?
because the ship is to heavy
How much does a tip of iceberg show?
about 12.5 percent of an iceberg is above the water. That leaves the other 87.5 percent hidden from view.
If an an iceberg as 90 percent of its body below the water level but a ship has 90 percent of its body above the water level then Why doesn't a big ship like a cuise ship roll over?
The iceberg rolls because it is constantly melting, casuing it scenter of mass to change. The ship is help upright by water displacement and the shape of the hull so it does not roll like an iceberg does.
What percentage of an iceberg's mass is above the waterline?
Between 10 to 20 percent of an iceberg mass is above water. An iceberg is a massive piece of floating ice. Usually, approximately 80 to 90 percent of an iceberg is below sea level. A very large iceberg can be over 230 feet in height and over 738 feet in width.
How much of the Lambert glacier is covered underwater?
Only 10 percent of the iceberg are above water. That means 90 percent of the iceberg are underwater.
What fraction of an iceberg lies hidden below the surface of the water?
Approximately 90% of an iceberg lies hidden below the surface of the water. This is due to the difference in density between ice and water, causing the iceberg to float with a significant portion submerged.
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.
What fraction of an iceberg lies below the surface of water?
about 90%.
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.
Is more of an ice berg under or above?
Though ice is less dense than water but still more of an iceberg is below water due to enormous mass of the iceberg...
How much of an iceberg is visible above the water line?
Approximately 10% of an iceberg is visible above the water line, with the remaining 90% submerged below the surface. This is due to the lower density of ice compared to water, causing the iceberg to float with a significant portion hidden underwater.
