An ice berg of density 900 Kg/m 3 is floating in water of density 1000 Kg/m 3 . The percentage of volume of ice-cube outside the water is
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsC
Let the total volume of ice-berg is V and its density is ρ ρ . If this ice-berg floats in water with
volume V in inside it then $V_{in} \sigma g = V \rho g$ ⇒ ⇒ $\mathbf{V}_{in} = \left(\frac{\rho}{\sigma}\right) \mathbf{V}$ [ $\overline{\sigma} =$ density of water]
or $\mathbf{V}_{out} = \mathbf{V} - \mathbf{V}_{in} = \left(\frac{\sigma - \rho}{\sigma}\right) \mathbf{V}$
⇒ ⇒ $\frac{V_{out}}{V} = \left(\frac{\sigma - \rho}{\sigma}\right) = \frac{1000 - 900}{1000} = \frac{1}{10}$
∴ ∴ $V_{\text{out}} = 10\%$ of V
