Question

The density of ice is 917 kg/m3, and the density of sea water is 1025 kg/m3. A swimming polar bear climbs onto a piece of floating ice that has a volume of 8.63 m3. What is the weight of the heaviest bear that the ice can support without sinking completely beneath the water?

Step 1

63 m^3 Weight of iceberg = ρ_ice * g * V Weight of iceberg = 917 kg/m^3 * 9.81 m/s^2 * 8.63 m^3 Weight of iceberg = 75269.71 N Show more…
