Have you calculated the displacement?

[Egnalf]

There are many floating objects which displace water. Docks, jet skis, pleasure boats, cruise ships, tankers, military watercraft and so forth. Heck, even jillions of plastic bottles and sunbathers.

Have you ever calculated the water displacement of all of this and came up with a total? How much would water rise on the coastline of Alabama?

If what?

If you threw 50.000 rednecks in the water at the same time.

The OP displacement theory only works in an enclosed environment. [Archimedes in the bathtub]

The earth is not a bathtub. The oceans and rivers are part of a huge ecosystem that includes inlets and bayous and swamps and marshes. Lots of places for water to go.

Could probably place every human produced product in the ocean and the tides and moon and rotation of the earth and gravitational flow would balance it all out with little to no significant evidence of the added displacement.

Yes, I actually have thought about this.
No, I am not smoking the devil lettuce.

no math teacher ever would accept this without reviewing the work. What formula did you use?

It's offset by the fish that are removed from the ocean.

[Unsuspicious]

2 of every animal would displace enough water to cause a flood or something like that idk

through conservation efforts fish are now more plentiful than ever. go feed the kids. https://youtu.be/Ofp26_oc4CA?si=NEQEhJTduqGJT6GF

Well lars, the earth is covered by a mere 389,737,244,160,000 square feet of water surface area, whereby each square foot could be covered 1 inch deep by a mere 79 ounces. Factoring a ton of water at 240 gallons (round number to save you math), we would only need to displace 237,739,718.973,600 gallons to cover it in one inch of water, or displace a total of 990,582,162,390 tons. with our aircraft carriers alone displacing greater than 100,000 tons, and a modern cruise ship displacing nearly 230,000 tons, is it really a moot point? :rofl:

[Vette40th]

A CVN Carrier, without air wing, displaces less water than A Trident Submarine

But what happens when the metric water mixes with the imperial water?

[Mike Mercury]

If you threw 50.000 rednecks in the water at the same time...


not one drop of beer would be spilled.

[Egnalf]

But what about all the ice that is melting too?
A pound of either ice or water displaces the same amount. While manythink ice would displace more due to its slightly larger volume, its totlal mass is the same.

But what happens when the metric water mixes with the imperial water?

The rest of the world is used to the metric system. Its only in a few places like the US and Great Brittain where this even comes into question. There is a dividing line due to the different density.

[Vette40th]

But Al Gore said......lol

How can it displace the same if the density is different?
Density = mass / volume
If mass is equal and we know density is different, volume (displacement) is going to be different.

Ice expands when frozen. Ice is unique.

do you also believe a pound of feathers weighs more than a pound of pennies?

Lol, you know the whole pound of gold vs feathers was trick question back in the day. But pennies is a new twist.
Enlighten us.. What kind of pennies?
