Question

It's a cold April night in 1912 in the middle of the Atlantic ocean, you are on the Titanic. In

the distance you see a large white object approaching the ship. You think it's pretty and not much

danger to the ship so you carry on with your festivities. Later the large white object (an iceberg)

hits the ship, and the ship begins to sink. As the ship is sinking you think, hm, it wasn't that big of

an ice-berg (and of course this ship can't sink...). What percentage of the iceberg was under water?

Let the density of the water be 1.0 g/cm^3, and the density of the ice be 0.92 g/cm^3. Express your

answer as a percentage (not a decimal)

fraction of ice inside water is 0.92/1

% of ice inside water is 92
