Question

There is an ice cube with a density of 675 kilograms per cubed meter that contains air bubbles, with the dimensions of the ice cube being 21 millimeters wide, 30 millimeters long, and 7.5 millimeters tall. The ice cube floats on a sugary beverage with a density of 0.7875 grams per cubed centimeter, with a portion of the ice cube not sitting in the beverage.

What is the weight of the ice cube?

Considering the volume of the sugary beverage that was displaced by the ice cube, what volume of the displaced beverage would be necessary to provide a buyout force the same as the weight of the ice cube?

Considering there is a portion of the ice cube that is under the surface of the beverage, what is the fraction of the ice cube that is submerged? (Displaced beverage to ice cube volume ratio)
