Icebergs consist of freshwater ice and float in the ocean with only about 10.2% of their volume above water (the "tip of the iceberg," so to speak). this percentage can vary, depending on the condition of the ice. assume that the ice has the density 0.92x10^3kg/m^3 , although, in reality, this can vary considerably, depending on the condition of the ice and the amount of impurities in it. part a what does this 10.2% tell us is the density of seawater? express your answer using four significant figures. part b what percentage of the icebergs' volume would be above water if they were floating in a large freshwater lake such as lake superior? express your answer using two significant figures.

Suppose that two tanks, 1 and 2, each with a large opening at the top, contain different liquids. a small hole is made in the side of each tank at the same depth 1.57 m below the liquid surface, but the hole in tank 2 has 2.49 times the cross-sectional area of the hole in tank 1. (a) what is the ratio ρ1/ρ2 of the densities of the liquids if the mass flow rate is the same for the two holes? (b) what is the ratio rv1/rv2 of the volume flow rates from the two tanks? (c) at one instant, the liquid in tank 1 is 14.9 cm above the hole. if the tanks are to have equal volume flow rates, what height above the hole must the liquid in tank 2 be just then?
