A rectangular slab of ice floats on water with a large portion submerged beneath the water surface. The volume of the slab is 20 m^3 and the surface area of the top is 14 m^2. The density of ice is 900 kg/m^3 and sea water is 1030 kg/m^3. 1) Calculate the buoyant force on the slab. 2) Calculate the height h of the portion of the slab that is above the water surface. 3) A polar bear climbs to the top of the slab and sits on the slab for a long time.d. If the average mass of a polar bear is 500 kg, calculate the maximum number of bears that can sit on the slab without sinking.

Properties of Fluids

The term fluid represents a type of substance that can easily change its shape under any external pressure/force and can flow. Fluids can acquire any shape in which it is stored and can resist normal stresses but cannot resist shear stress in rest condition. Whenever external shear stress is applied to fluids, it starts to flow. The fluids may be liquid or gas. Example- water, air, etc.
