He density of ice is 0.92 g/cm3; and the density of seawater is 1.03 g/cm3. a large iceberg floats in arctic waters. what fraction of the volume of the iceberg is exposed?

Only about 11% of the volume of the iceberg is exposed.

Further explanation

The basic formula of pressure that needs to be recalled is:

Pressure = Force / Cross-sectional Area

or symbolized:

P = Pressure (Pa)

F = Force (N)

A = Cross-sectional Area (m²)

Let us now tackle the problem !

Given:

Density of Ice = ρ_ice = 0.92 g/cm³

Densiy of Seawater = ρ_seawater = 1.03 g/cm³

Asked:

Volume of the exposed iceberg = ΔV = ?

Solution:

We will use Archimedes' principle to solve the problem as follows:

If one were to put the y value into the equation, they could find out what x is for a certain value of y.  putting in the value of y (1), we get the equation: 1=4x-12=4xx=0.5this means that the value of x when why is 1 is x=0.5

I'm having some difficulty seeing the diagram clearly.but the question says there's a net inward force on the object.so we know right away,  from newton's 2nd law of motion, thatthat baby is accelerating.  it doesn't even matter which way thenet force is pointing.  if there's any net force, then either theobject's speed or else its direction must be changing.
