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.
