An ice-berg of density 900 kgm ⁻³ is floating in water of density 1000 kgm ⁻³ . The percentage of volume of ice-berg outside the water is
Options
- A20 %
- B35 %
- C10 %
- D11 %
Correct answer
C. 10 %
Step-by-step solution
Let the volume of ice-berg is V and its density is . If this ice-berg floats in water with volume V_ in inside it then V_ in g=V g V_ in = ( ) V aligned V_ out & =V-V_ in = ( - ) V & = ( 1000-900 1000 ) V= V 10 V_ out V & =0 1=10 % aligned
