Mass of the ice block,m=2000 kg

Density ,Rho=917 kg/m^3

Using density formula

Rho=Mass/Volume

Volume,V=m/Rho

                 = 2000/917

               =2.181 m^3

Mass or weight of an ice block = 2000kg.

Density of an ice block = 917 kg/m3.

Volume is defined as mass per unit density.

Volume = mass / density

            = 2000 kg / 917kg/m3

            = 2000 m3/ 917

            = 2.1810 m3

Therefore volume of an ice block is 2.181 m3.
