The buoyant force on the iceberg when the 360 kg mass is placed on it is equal to the weight of the added mass. We can use the concept of relative density (or specific gravity) to find the mass of the iceberg, knowing that it displaces its own weight in water. By applying the principle of buoyancy, we can calculate the iceberg's mass to be around 400 kg.

What are the factors affecting floating?
Factors affecting floating include the density of the object, the density of the fluid it is placed in, and the volume of the object displacing the fluid. Objects with a density less than that of the fluid will float, while those with a density greater than the fluid will sink.
What are the principle of floating?
An object will float if it has less density than the fluid it is placed in. Floating is the result of the fact that there is a higher pressure at the bottom of the floating object, than at the top.
What will happen if an object that is the same density of water is placed in it?
If an object with the same density as water is placed in water, it will remain suspended at the same level without sinking or floating. This is known as neutral buoyancy, where the object's weight is equal to the water's buoyant force, resulting in it neither sinking nor floating.
Does volume alone determine whether an objects will float or sink?
No, an object's density relative to the density of the fluid it is placed in determines if it will float or sink. An object will float if its density is less than the density of the fluid, and sink if its density is greater. Volume can influence buoyancy, but it is not the sole factor.
The objects ability to float depends on its what?
The object's ability to float depends on its density relative to the density of the fluid it is placed in, such as water. If the object is less dense than the fluid, it will float; if it is more dense, it will sink.

Why do some things float and some dont?
A floating object has a density less than what it is floating in. If an object has more density than the medium it is placed in, the medium will be unable to hold the object. The object will, therefore, sink.

How do hydrometers work to measure the density of liquids?
Hydrometers work by measuring the buoyancy of a liquid to determine its density. The hydrometer is a weighted glass tube with a scale inside. When placed in a liquid, the hydrometer floats at a certain level depending on the liquid's density. The scale on the hydrometer then indicates the density of the liquid based on where it is floating.
What are the conditions to a object to sink?
Right principle is "Archimedes Principle" When the weight of the sinking object exceeds the weight of the displaced liquid sinking continues. If otherwise the body would be pushed up and it would start floating on the surface. At the time of floating, the weight of the body = weight of the liquid displaced
Why do some objects float or sink relative to other objects?
If the weight of the fuild displaced becomes more than the weight of the body placed within a fluid then floating takes place.
How does density affect the floating and sinking of objects?
Density is a measure of how much mass is contained in a given volume. Objects will float if their density is less than the density of the fluid they are in and sink if their density is greater. For example, a ship floats because its density is less than that of water, while a rock sinks because its density is greater.
Why do some float and others sink?
Whether an object floats or sinks is a function of its relative density, to the medium in which it is placed. If the object is less dense, it floats, If it is more dense, it sinks. Density = Mass per unit Volume
Did Germany sink the Titanic?
No, it hit an iceberg Edit: But Germany placed the iceburg there.
