Question 1

To the nearest percent, what fraction of an iceberg is submerged? (ρice = 917 kg/m3, ρsea = 1.03 × 103 kg/m3.)

95%

93%

91%

89%

77%


Question 2

Two identical fish, both at sea level, float in two identical aquariums with identical quantities of water. Fish A is in Alaska, so it weighs more than fish B at the equator, since g is larger at sea level in Alaska. Which statement is correct?

A comparison is impossible unless they are both floating at the same level.

Fish A displaces a greater quantity of water than fish B.

Fish B displaces a greater quantity of water than fish A.

They both displace the same quantity of water.

Fish A has a smaller acceleration than Fish B when equal horizontal forces are applied to each, because Fish A weighs more.
