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.

P1.5 An artificial solar pond is a body of water with a density gradient created by adding salt to the water. Obtain an expression for the variation of pressure P with depth - assuming the density distribution to have the linear form, p(=) = p, + az, where Po is the density at the surface and a is a constant. The ambient pressure is Po. [Answer: P(z) = P, + gz(p. + az /2)]
