the ice is floating,so net force is zero.
to get that net force, then
net force= weight of water displaced-weight of iceberg
net force= 1.025( Vunder)-.92(800+Vunder)
solve for Vunder.
Vunder=.92*800/(1.025-.92)
check that math
The density of ice is 0.92 g cm-3 & that of sea water is 1.025 g cm-3.Find total volume of an iceberg which floats with its volume 800 cm3 above water.
ANSWER:7809.5 cm3
