What was the cause of the titanic disaster?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No, the sinking of the RMS Titanic was not a natural disaster. By definition, a natural disaster is a disaster caused by natural forces (like a hurricane or an earthquake), rather than by human action.

Though the main cause of the RMS Titanic's sinking was the effect of hitting an iceberg on its maiden voyage in April 1912, the other cause was human error. So, natural causes did not explicitly cause the RMS Titanic to sink.

The part of an iceberg which is below water is about seven times the size of the part above water What fraction of the iceberg is above water?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Since the part below the water is 7 times the size of the part above water, the total size of the iceberg can be divided into 8 equal parts (7 parts below water + 1 part above water). Therefore, the fraction of the iceberg above water is 1/8.

If a box is 3cm by 2cm by 10 cm how much mass could it hold before if would sink in water?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

To determine how much mass the box can hold before sinking in water, you need to calculate its volume and compare it to the volume of water it displaces when fully submerged. The buoyant force acting on the box must be equal to or greater than its weight for it to float. Given the dimensions of the box, find its volume, then calculate the weight of water displaced by that volume to determine the maximum mass it can hold before sinking.
