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 4.32 m3. What is the weight of the heaviest bear that the ice can support without sinking completely beneath the water?

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 rectangular block of ice 13 m on each side and 1.1 m thick floats in sea water. The density of the sea water is 1025 kg/m3. The density of ice is 917 kg/m3. 1) How high does the top of the ice block float above the water level? 2) How many penguins of mass 20 kg each can stand on the ice block before they get their feet wet?

The density of water at 0°C is very nearly 1000 kg/m3 (it is actually 999.84 kg/m3), whereas the density of ice at 0°C is 917 kg/m3. The bulk modulus of ice is 2.20 × 109 Pa.    Calculate the pressure, in pascals, necessary to keep freezing water from expanding, neglecting the effect such a large pressure would have on the freezing point. (This problem gives you only an indication of how large the forces associated with freezing water might be.)

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?
