The Mass and Volume of an Iceberg
Calculating the Mass of an Iceberg
An iceberg with a volume of 7605 cubic feet has a density of 0.917 g/cm3. To determine the mass of the iceberg in kilograms, we first convert the volume from cubic feet to cubic centimeters:
1 ft = 30.48 cm
1 ft3 = 30.48 cm * 30.48 cm * 30.48 cm
1 ft3 = 28316.847 cm3
The volume of the iceberg in cm3 = 7605 * 28316.847 cm3
The volume of the iceberg in cm3 = 215349621.4 cm3
Using the formula Mass = Density * Volume, we can calculate the mass of the iceberg:
The mass of the iceberg = 215349621.4 cm3 * 0.917 g/cm3
The mass of the iceberg = 197475602.9 grams
The mass of the iceberg is 197475.603 kilograms.
