Chapter 14, Problem 041 What fraction of the volume of an iceberg (density 917 kg/m3) would be visible if the iceberg floats in (a) the ocean (salt water, density 1024 kg/m3) and (b) in a river (fresh water, density 998 kg/m3)? (When salt water freezes to form ice, the salt is excluded. So, an iceberg could provide fresh water to a community.)

A contractor has compacted the base course for a new road and found that the mean value of the test samples has the moisture content = 19.4%, specific gravity = 2.78, and bulk soil density = 16.4 kN/m3. The specifications require that the void ratio should not exceed 0.80. Check whether the contractor met the specifications or not? Unit weight of water is 9.81 kN/m3. Based on the given data and assuming volume of soil is 1m3 , determine the...

What is the density (in kg/m3) of a woman who floats in freshwater with 4.32% of her volume above the surface? (This could be measured by placing her in a tank with marks on the side to measure how much water she displaces when floating and when held under water.) (Give your answer to at least three significant figures.) What percent of her volume is above the surface when she floats in seawater?
