Скачать или смотреть B12) Buoyancy - how to size a boat that will float using a simple math recipe!

So we've been learning about buoyancy and how to predict whether something will sink or float... and now we have the tools we need to size a boat that will float!

I start with a simple formula for a rectangular solid... we need to add in margin, so we can get pretty far with simple geometry. I even give you a table to do some quick sizing... plus an additional reference if you want to get fancy with triangles and half-circles!

Check out my video series to learn why do some things float and others don't? Then design and build your own cardboard boat!
