Properties Of Solids And Liquids Question 261

Question: An ice berg of density 900 Kg/m3 is floating in water of density 1000 Kg/m3. The percentage of volume of ice-cube outside the water is [CPMT 2004]

Options:

A)20%

B)35%

C)10%

D) 25%

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

Let the total volume of ice-berg is V and its density is r.

If this ice-berg floats in water with volume

Vininside it then Vinσg=Vρg

therefore Vin=(ρσ) V [σ= density of water]or Vout=VVin=(σρσ) V therefore VoutV=(σρσ)=10009001000=110 \ Vout=10 of V
