Which of the following properties of iceberg led to the sinking of the titanic ship?

Answer»

HEAVY water currents
Relatively higher density of ice
`9//10` of iceberg submerged below SEA water and `1//10` above the sea water
None of the above

Solution :ICEBERGS weigh million of tons but float on the surface of sea water because the density of ice is less than that of the sea water. Usually `9//10` of icebergs will be below the surface of water and `1//10` above the sea water as a result we cannot estimate the size below water, and hence when SHIP hits this heavier ice berg the ship sinks.
