80-85%
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.
Only 10 percent of the iceberg are above water. That means 90 percent of the iceberg are underwater.
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.
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.
1/8 of the iceberg is at the surface while the rest remains. This is an average iceberg (based on titanic)
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%)
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.
because the ship is to heavy
about 12.5 percent of an iceberg is above the water. That leaves the other 87.5 percent hidden from view.
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.
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.
Only 10 percent of the iceberg are above water. That means 90 percent of the iceberg are underwater.
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.
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.
about 90%.
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.
Though ice is less dense than water but still more of an iceberg is below water due to enormous mass of the iceberg...
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.
