What percentage of an iceberg's mass is above the waterline?
Between 10 to 20 percent of an iceberg mass is above water. An iceberg is a massive piece of floating ice. Usually, approximately 80 to 90 percent of an iceberg is below sea level. A very large iceberg can be over 230 feet in height and over 738 feet in width.
The part of an iceberg which is below water is about seven times the size of the part above water What fraction of the iceberg is above water?
Since the part below the water is 7 times the size of the part above water, the total size of the iceberg can be divided into 8 equal parts (7 parts below water + 1 part above water). Therefore, the fraction of the iceberg above water is 1/8.
How much of an ice berg above the surface and how much is below the surface?
On average, about 10% of an iceberg is above the surface, while the rest (90%) is below the surface. The amount visible above the water depends on factors like the iceberg's shape, density, and buoyancy.
If an an iceberg as 90 percent of its body below the water level but a ship has 90 percent of its body above the water level then Why doesn't a big ship like a cuise ship roll over?
The iceberg rolls because it is constantly melting, casuing it scenter of mass to change. The ship is help upright by water displacement and the shape of the hull so it does not roll like an iceberg does.
Is one half of iceberg above water?
1/8 of the iceberg is at the surface while the rest remains. This is an average iceberg (based on titanic)
What percentage is an iceberg underwater?
Typically, only about 10% of any iceberg is above sea-level. This is why we know that the berg that Titanic struck was far larger than the ship.
What is the total height of the iceberg if three fourths of the height is hidden below the surface of the ocean and the iceberg towers 150 meters about the ocean surface?
1/4 of the iceberg which is 150m, is above sea level, so another 3/4 of it is below. 150 x 4 = 600, so the height of the iceberg is 600m.
Can an iceberg sink?
no. it melts An iceberg will float as long as it is in water. If you could put an iceberg in a liquid less dense than ice, the iceberg would sink.
Is more of an ice berg under or above?
Though ice is less dense than water but still more of an iceberg is below water due to enormous mass of the iceberg...
How much of an iceberg is visible above the water line?
Approximately 10% of an iceberg is visible above the water line, with the remaining 90% submerged below the surface. This is due to the lower density of ice compared to water, causing the iceberg to float with a significant portion hidden underwater.
What fraction of an iceberg lies below the surface of water?
about 90%.
What percent of an iceberg is below water and why?
Approximately 90% of an iceberg is below water because ice is less dense than water, so a large portion of the iceberg needs to be submerged to displace enough water and stay afloat. The submerged portion is what gives icebergs their stability and makes them less likely to tip over.
