THE TITANIC IS 52,310 tons. The hull of a ship should be the only portion of a ship that is below the water. Therefore, at a minimum, how many tons of sea water should the hull of the Titanic displace while it’s in water?

Respuesta :

Answer: 52,310 tons

Step-by-step explanation:

The famous Archimedes' principle states that when a body is fully or partially immersed in a liquid, an upward thrust equal to the weight of the liquid displaced, acts on it.

i.e. when a solid is fully or partially immersed in a liquid, it loses weight which is equal to the weight of the liquid displaced by it.

Given : THE TITANIC IS 52,310 tons.

The hull of a ship should be the only portion of a ship that is below the water.

Therefore by  Archimedes' principle  , at a minimum 52,310 tons of sea water should the hull of the Titanic displace while it’s in water
