How did a piece of ice cut through the solid steel hull of the Titanic?
In: Physics
“Solid steel”
Boats are pretty famously not solid. They’re very, very hollow.
The Titanic’s hull was 1 inch thick. It hit an iceberg. Not an ice cube. If you Google “average iceberg mass” the result it spits out is “several billion tons”. And that ice is actually very, very solid. And sharp and jagged.
