Answer: 52,310 tons
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
