His colleague Benjamin Jordan added: “Using the dimensions of the ark
and the density of the water, we were able to calculate its buoyancy
force, which, according to Archimedes’ principle, is equal to the weight
of the volume of fluid the object displaces. This meant we were then
able to estimate the total mass the ark could support before the
gravitational weight would overcome the buoyancy force, causing the ark
to sink, which we calculated as 50.54x106kg.”
