Extracted text: After the sinking of RMS Titanic, US operated the International Ice patrol with the purpose of monitoring the presence and movements of icebergs in the Atlantic and Arctic oceans. Once, they observed a unique tabular iceberg in a form of a rectangle (250 km x 50 km x 300 m). How many years would it take to melt the iceberg solely by heat from the sun if the ice absorbs a mean of 98 J/m²-s, 12.5 hrs per day? Note: the exposed area for heating is 250 km x 50 km and the density is 920 kg/m³.
