It  was 52,310 tons with everything and everyone, ad was 38,760 tons all by itself. It was so big, that they had to use 3 million ,1200 tons of rivets,just to hold it together. The Titanic was able to hold about 3,300 people,but they did not think about the consequences that came with it]]> 2017-05-30 19:24:09 UTC https://padlet.com/354737/q17yaakv60sb/wish/174493339 354737 https://padlet.com/354737/q17yaakv60sb/wish/174493510 Buoyancy is the upward force on a floating object. When and object is light, buoyancy will be greater than gravitational pull, then the object will float. If the buoyancy on an object was equal to the gravitational pull, then the object will be halfway in the water and halfway in the air. When the Titanic  was sailing to New York,the buoyancy was greater than  gravitational pull , making it float When the Titanic was filling up with water, the buoyancy was decreasing and the gravitational pull was increasing,making the poor ship sink.

Less than half. So, that did not let any one survive in the world. If the Titanic had more lifeboats or the lifeboats  were bigger to fit at least ten more people on, then the  Titanic  wouldn't lose so many lives.  ]]> 2017-05-30 19:42:30 UTC https://padlet.com/354737/q17yaakv60sb/wish/174495478 354737 https://padlet.com/354737/q17yaakv60sb/wish/174495779 When an object is placed into water, it causes the water level to rise and  displaces  water level. When the Titanic set sail on April 10, it was lighter than the water, so it floated. And when the Titanic  was filled with water, the ship was then heavier then the water, and sank slowly, as the water rushed in.]]> 2017-05-30 19:45:25 UTC https://padlet.com/354737/q17yaakv60sb/wish/174495779 354737 https://padlet.com/354737/q17yaakv60sb/wish/174496222 We could have saved all of the lives on the Titanic  if the Morse Code  receiver listened to the  warnings other ships were giving them and posted the chart room, then the lookout would keep their eyes peeled and the captain would know to slow down.]]> 2017-05-30 19:49:47 UTC https://padlet.com/354737/q17yaakv60sb/wish/174496222 354737 https://padlet.com/354737/q17yaakv60sb/wish/174496260 The Titanic's rivets were weaker than usual ships' rivets because most of the ships' rivets were made out of steel only, while the Titanic's rivets were made of steel and iron, making it weaker. If the builders had used steel  rivets, not so many plates would break off and the people would have more time to get off the ship and onto lifeboats.  ]]> 2017-05-30 19:50:02 UTC https://padlet.com/354737/q17yaakv60sb/wish/174496260 354737 https://padlet.com/354737/q17yaakv60sb/wish/174532381 The Titanic carried 20 lifeboats that could hold 60 people each and 1,200 people in total. So,that's half.But the real amount of people who got off the Titanic and onto the life boat is 1,178 people in total .
