Question

Fish in a frozen lake can survive throughout the winter months due

partially to the fact that lakes don't freeze solid. Fresh water has a density
of 1.00 g/cm3. A piece of ice has a mass of 57g and a volume of 62 cm3.
Give the density of the piece of ice (use the density formula d = m/V) and
explain what will happen to it in the lake.​

Answer 1

The ice will float on the lake

Further explanation

Given

Mass of ice 57 g and a volume of 62 cm³

Required

Density

Solution

Density formula:

`\large {\boxed {\bold {\rho ~ = ~ \frac {m} {V}}}}`

Input the value :

ρ = 57 g : 62 cm³

ρ = 0.919 g/cm³

Because the density of ice is less than water, it will float on the lake
