ECON 103 Lecture Notes - Lecture 4: Dhow
Document Summary
After four different experiments, i managed to come up with a ship model that will suite your cruise line. This ship has the ability to hold 8 pennies without sinking in a basin of water of about 15 centimeters deep. I had four different models of the ships with helped me throughout the experiment. Of all the four models, the barge shaped one was the one that was capable of holding the 8 pennies without sinking but the remaining three sank with the weight of only 5 pennies. This made me realize that the shape of the ship mattered most as it was the key determinant of how much weight a ship can take. According to the results if the ship created will be of barge shape then it will be able to accommodate more weight. This will give room for creation of luxury amenities in the ship hence making the passengers life onboard a very memorable experience.
