    Ice floats in water with about nine-tenths of its volume submerged. What is the fractional volume submerged for an iceberg floating on a fresh water lake of a (hypothetical) planet whose gravity is ten times that of earth?

    Answer:

                    The fractional volume submerged does not depend upon the value of acceleration due to gravity.  So, on the new planet, the ice will float in water with nearly nine-tenths of its volume submerged.
