I need a explantion to the all questions please.

In 2000, a gargantuan iceberg broke away from the Ross Ice Sheet in Antarctica. It was approximately a rectangle 295 km long, 37.0 km wide, and 250.0 m thick. What is the mass of this iceberg, given that the density of ice is 917 kg/m3?

It was approximately a rectangle 295 km long, 37.0 km wide, and 250.0 m thick. What is the mass of this iceberg, given that the density of ice is 917 kg/m^3? Number [ ]kg How much heat transfer (in joules) is needed to melt the iceberg? Number [ ]J How many years would it take sunlight alone to melt ice this thick, if the ice absorbs an average of 125 W/m^2, 12.0 hours per day? Number [ ]years

Explanation / Answer

1. we know that mass = volume x density

hence mass = 295 x 1000 m x 37 x 1000m x 250 m x 917kg/m3 = 2.5 x 1015 Kg.

2.  we can calculate the heat needed to melt an iceberg at its melting point (constant temperature of 0
