An ice-cube 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

Correct answer: C. 10 \% The percentage of volume of ice cube outside the water is aligned & = p_ water -p_ ice p_ water × 100 & =(1000-900)/(1000) × 100=10 \% aligned

An ice-cube of density

900 \mathrm{~kg} / \mathrm{m}^3

is floating in water of density

1000 \mathrm{~kg} / \mathrm{m}^3

. The percentage of volume of ice-cube outside the water is

Options

A $20 \%$
B $35 \%$
C $10 \%$
D $25 \%$

Correct answer

C. $10 \%$

Step-by-step solution

The percentage of volume of ice cube outside the water is

\begin{aligned} & =\frac{p_{\text{water }}-p_{\text{ice }}}{p_{\text{water }}} \times 100 \\ & =\frac{1000-900}{1000} \times 100=10 \%\end{aligned}
