Question

The density of ice is $917kg/m^3$. the friction of the volume of a piece of ice will be above water when floating in fresh water is:-

• A. $0.083$
• B. $0.042$
• C. $0.412$
• D. $0.813$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $0.083$

$f\times v\times 1000\times 9.8=(1-f)\times V\times 917\times 9.8$

This gives $f=\frac{917}{1000}$ =0.917

The fraction of block above water$1-.917$

$=0.083$
