Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to Archimedes' principle, an object submerged in a fluid experiences a buoyant force equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object. This means that an iceberg will continue to sink until it displaces enough water to equal the weight of the entire iceberg. Therefore, the correct choice is A) the total mass of the water displaced equals the total mass of the whole iceberg.
