8. The absolute value of a gravity measurement taken on top of 1 km high ice sheet is 0.0031 m/s² less than the absolute value of the gravitational acceleration at its base. a) Is the ice sheet isostatically compensated? Explain your answer. b) For this part, please do one of the following based on your answer in part (a) i) If the ice sheet is isostatically compensated, please calculate the depth of the root assuming a surrounding density of 3000 kg/m³ and ice density of 1000 kg/m³. OR ii) If the ice sheet is not isostatically compensated, calculate the density of the ice. Show your work.
