MCQ
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 ...... $\%$
  • A
    $20$
  • B
    $35$
  • $10$
  • D
    $25$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$10$
c
(c) Let the total volume of ice-berg is $V$  and its density is $\rho$. If this ice-berg floats in water with volume Vin inside it then ${V_{in}}\sigma g = V\rho g$ ==> ${V_{in}} = \left( {\frac{\rho }{\sigma }} \right)\;V$[$\sigma = $density of water]
or ${V_{out}} = V - {V_{in}} = \left( {\frac{{\sigma - \rho }}{\sigma }} \right)\;V$
==> $\frac{{{V_{out}}}}{V} = \left( {\frac{{\sigma - \rho }}{\sigma }} \right) = \frac{{1000 - 900}}{{1000}} = \frac{1}{{10}}$
 ${V_{out}} = 10\% $ of $V$
