The Movie Myth of the Titanic Raft

The movie “Titanic” reaches a climax and creates a myth when Rose floats on a raft made of a door from the doomed ship. Jack hangs on, but does not clamber aboard.

What do Archimedes and the math of modern physics say about the buoyancy of a raft made of such flotsam? Read “It Would Take a Titanic Raft of Flotsam to Float Two Actors” in Decoded Science for my answer.

Archimedes, Buoyancy and a Wooden Raft

As my article explains, the Archimedes Principle introduced buoyancy, since an object immersed in water displaces its own volume. If the weight of the displaced water exceeds the weight of the object, then the object floats.

Would a single door be large enough to float with Rose on it? Could Jack join her?

My article shows some calculations that explore this myth from the movie “Titanic“, while citing the sources of physical values such as the density of Canadian spruce.
For some ED viagra buy australia go to page may be a bigger problem, which results from physical disorders. Typically, it happens once men cross sildenafil 10mg their 40 age, but these days because of too much work pressure and abusing way of life, even men not more than 35 are undergoing this hurdle. As per research, this herbal cure is a composition of exceptional herbs, minerals prices levitra and metals. If there is lack of nitric oxide created due to increase in PDE5 brand viagra canada enzyme, which also restricts blood circulation, ED results.
Big thanks to the Decoded Science editor who posed the question, citing this page and its discussion thread.
