12. Iceberg Dynamics and Safety
The chapter covers the principles of buoyancy, focusing on iceberg stability and the importance of understanding fluid mechanics in engineering. It discusses how underwater melting affects iceberg buoyancy and highlights lessons learned from historical maritime disasters like the Titanic. Additionally, it explores the behavior of fluids under acceleration, rigid body motions, and the implications of Archimedes' principle in various natural processes.
