Buoyancy of the Titanic and how it sunk
I will be explaining in details how to calculate mathematical and science questions regarding the Titanic below.
- The Density of the Titanic
- The Weight of the Titanic
- The Buoyant Force Required for the Titanic to stay afloat
- The Volume of Water Titanic Displaced
-The Volume of the Titanic
- The Volume of the Titanic Above Water
The Density of the Titanic
Density=Mass/Volume
Volume of the Titanic- 404634.02221 cubic meter (m3)
Mass of the Titanic- 60,000,000 kg
60,000,000/404634.02221=148.28 kg/m3
The density of the Titanic is being calculated without any mass of the crews or passenger on board.
Density of the Ocean- 1050 kg/m3
The density of ocean water is higher than normal water due to the amount of salt and its temperature.
Due to the fact that Titanic's density is less than the density of the sea water, Titanic could stay afloat in the water!
Density=Mass/Volume
Volume of the Titanic- 404634.02221 cubic meter (m3)
Mass of the Titanic- 60,000,000 kg
60,000,000/404634.02221=148.28 kg/m3
The density of the Titanic is being calculated without any mass of the crews or passenger on board.
Density of the Ocean- 1050 kg/m3
The density of ocean water is higher than normal water due to the amount of salt and its temperature.
Due to the fact that Titanic's density is less than the density of the sea water, Titanic could stay afloat in the water!
The Weight of the Titanic
Weight=Mass*g (9.8)
M- Weight of the Titanic (60,000,000 kg)
g- Acceleration of gravity (9.8 N/kg)
60,000,000*9.8=588,000,000 N
The weight of the Titanic is 588,000,000.
Weight=Mass*g (9.8)
M- Weight of the Titanic (60,000,000 kg)
g- Acceleration of gravity (9.8 N/kg)
60,000,000*9.8=588,000,000 N
The weight of the Titanic is 588,000,000.
The Buoyant Force Require for Titanic to Stay Afloat
Buoyant Force=Weight
The Buoyant force required for Titanic to stay afloat is the same as Titanic's weight.
588,000,000 N=588,000,000 N
Buoyant Force=Weight
The Buoyant force required for Titanic to stay afloat is the same as Titanic's weight.
588,000,000 N=588,000,000 N
The Volume of Water the Titanic Displaced
Buoyant Force=Mass of the water displaced
Weight of Water Displaced/G (9.8)= New Mass
New Mass/Seawater's Density=Volume of the water displaced
Buoyant Force- 588,000,000
G- Gravity of Earth
Seawater's Density- 1050 kg/m3
588,000,000=588,000,000 kg
588,000,000/9.8=60,000,000 kg
60,000,000/1050= 57124.86 m3
Buoyant Force=Mass of the water displaced
Weight of Water Displaced/G (9.8)= New Mass
New Mass/Seawater's Density=Volume of the water displaced
Buoyant Force- 588,000,000
G- Gravity of Earth
Seawater's Density- 1050 kg/m3
588,000,000=588,000,000 kg
588,000,000/9.8=60,000,000 kg
60,000,000/1050= 57124.86 m3
The Volume of the Titanic
Volume=Mass/Density
Mass- 60,000,000 kg
Density of the Titanic- 148.28 kg/m3
60,000,000/148.28=404639.87 m3
Volume=Mass/Density
Mass- 60,000,000 kg
Density of the Titanic- 148.28 kg/m3
60,000,000/148.28=404639.87 m3
The Volume of Titanic Above Water
Volume of water displaced=Volume of Titanic underwater
Total Volume of Titnaic-Volume of Titanic underwater
57124.86=57124.86 m3
404639.87-57124.86=347515 m3 of Titanic underwater
Volume of water displaced=Volume of Titanic underwater
Total Volume of Titnaic-Volume of Titanic underwater
57124.86=57124.86 m3
404639.87-57124.86=347515 m3 of Titanic underwater
