An iceberg is floating on sea water such that only 10% of its volume is above the water level. What is the density of the sea water expressed in terms of the density of ice?
That's interesting. How does the density of sea water affect the buoyancy of an object like an iceberg?
The buoyancy of an object like an iceberg is affected by the density of the fluid in which it is floating. Because the density of sea water is higher than ice, only a small portion of the iceberg is visible above the water. This is because the upward force or buoyancy acting on the iceberg is equal to the weight of the volume of water displaced by the iceberg.
