Question

A group of polar bear standing on a disc-shaped ice that floats in a seawater with a diameter of 6 m and 1 m high. Determine how many polar bears that can be supported by the ice before it is fully immersed in the seawater? Take the mass of each bear is 350 kg and specific gravities of ice and seawater are 0.92 and 1.025, respectively.

Step 1

- Diameter of ice disc, \( d = 6 \, m \) - Height (thickness) of ice, \( h = 1 \, m \) - Mass of each polar bear, \( m_b = 350 \, kg \) - Specific gravity of ice, \( SG_{ice} = 0.92 \) - Specific gravity of seawater, \( SG_{sw} = 1.025 \) - Find: Number of polar Show more…
