A block of ice has the density of 0.97 g/cm3. How much of it will sink below the surface of the water? (Points : 1)
About 97 percent of the ice will sink below water.
About 3 percent of the ice will sink below water.
All—100 percent—of the ice will sink below water.
None—0 percent—of the ice will sink below the water.
About 97 percent of the ice will sink below water.

Ok I have no clue but I think its either the first, second, or last answer. I don't think it can be 100 percent

The 0.97 number for the density is wrong. It is actually 0.917.
97% would be the answer if the ice density were correct, but it isn't. The buoyancy force will equal the weight. This applies to pure water.
In ocean salt water, a smaller fraction is below water (about 88%). That is why icebergs float as high as they do in the water.
