Problem 03
What is the weight of a block of ice 24 in. by 24 in. by 24 in., if ice weighs 92 per cent as much as water, and water weighs 62.5 lb per cu. ft.?
 

Solution 03
Unit weight of water
γwater=62.5 lb/ft3
 

Unit weight of ice
γice=92%γwater

γice=0.92(62.5)

γice=57.5 lb/ft3
 

Volume of ice block
Vice=(24/12)3

Vice=8 ft3
 

Weight of 8 ft3 ice block
