In their Pirate Special 2(Nov 28,2007) episode the Discovery Channel's Mythbusters experimentally evaluated the feasibility of a scene portrayed in the movie Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl. In the movie Captain Jack Sparrow and Will walk along the bottom of the ocean holding an upturned rowing boat over their heads to trap air, allowing them to breath. Is this possible or a myth? Base your answer on fluid mechanics principles.The following assumptions can be used: The rowing boat is a 10 ft x 3 ft x 2 ft (LxWXH) rectangle. The rowing boat is made of pine wood (p =21.81bm/ft') and weights 1501bm. The whole upturned boat is filled with air. Air has negligible weight. Yseawater =64.0 lb /ft3One other thing ....The Olympic record for weightlifting in the 170-Ibm men's division is 380 Ibm. Yet, weight lifters have the weights over their heads for a few seconds only!... and if you believe the internet ...It takes 540 N (or 122 Ibf) to rip off a human head from its body. Sorry, could not find the value for an arm!
