Q.1 Buoyancy An iceberg of density Pi = 900 kg m-3, floats at rest on seawater of density pw = 1000 kg m-3. The iceberg is a cube of dimensions 100 m x 100 m x 100 m. a. Draw a diagram depicting the iceberg floating in the water and label the forces acting on the iceberg. b. Calculate the mass of the iceberg. c. Calculate the magnitude of the buoyancy force keeping the iceberg afloat. d. Calculate the volume of water displaced by the iceberg. e. Calculate the mass of the component of the iceberg that is below the waterline. f. Calculate the mass of the component of the iceberg that is above the waterline. g. Calculate the volume of ice above the water line. h. Calculate the height of the iceberg above the water line.
