Consider an iceberg floating in sea water. The density of sea water is

1.03\mathrm{gc}{\mathrm{c}^{ - 1}}

and that ice is

0.92\mathrm{gc}{\mathrm{c}^{ - 1}}

The fraction of total volume of iceberg above the level of sea water is nearby

View answer and explanation

Correct option: D

0.11

Option D (11%) is correct because it is calculated by finding the fraction of the iceberg's volume submerged and then subtracting from 100%.
