Alright, so ever since I saw Tangled way back when, my mind has kind of been in a tizzy over a lot of things. Mostly, my love for کہا movie, Flynn Rider, and my desperate want to play Mother Gothel in any alternate productions of the movie.
But also: can frying pans really work the way they do in the movie?
I'm not one to usually harp upon factual things in movies, especially animated ones, but I figured it would be a ton of fun to figure out the mathematical (scientific? I'm not sure how to classify it, really) logical-ness behind fighting bad guys with باورچی خانے, باورچی خانہ appliances.
Now, if the average frying pan is, say, according to Wikipedia, 8-to-12-inches in diameter, and are made of cast iron. Using fancy mathematical stuffs and things, we can wager to guess that these pans are decently heavy. Turning to online stores, I looked at different pans, of the following weights:
4 lbs (Williams-Sonoma, 12 inches)
3.5 lbs (Amazon, 8 inches)
There weren't that many pans with weights listed, unfortunately, but I can wager to guess all average frying pans are around the 4 lbs. mark.
So that's 4 pounds of condensed force flying at someone - is it enough to knock them out? To Google we go!
An مضمون from LiveScience states this: "A cubic inch of bone can in principle برداشت, ریچھ a load of 19,000 lbs. (8,626 kg) یا مزید — roughly the weight of five standard pickup trucks — making it about four times as strong as concrete." So, us humans are pretty resilient - but what about the big ol' KO?
Another quote from LiveScience gives us something close to the answer. "A blow that gives the head enough spin to go from 0 to 43,000 rpm in just one سیکنڈ has a 25 percent chance of knocking a person unconscious."
LiveScience is talking about punching, so we have to account for the fact that آپ can do a lot مزید damage with a cast iron skillet versus a fist - the logical part of my brain says with that pan smacking someone, آپ probably have closer to a 50% chance of knocking someone unconscious.
So could Flynn and Rapunzel plausibly hit guards with that trusty pan and watch them fall like dominoes? No. Are they complete goners? Also no.
And there آپ have it, the math/science/word jumble behind the frying pan battles in Tangled!
Au revior!

Here are the results of the Princess of the ماہ Hairstyles Countdown!
This is originally a BelleAnastasia's idea, she started to make countdowns for princesses' songs, hairstyles and outfits each month. She made the other مضامین with results only with images, so I continued her tradition, because personally I think it's not bad.
I'm really glad she let me do Aurora's countdowns, I hope آپ enjoy my pictures!

Allright, I have seen all those مضامین before about the role models but I would like to write one all together to be fair and to not be a single opinion, so If آپ can please write who do آپ think is the best role model. That's how I wan't to make the سب, سب سے اوپر 10 with the help of all you. Please I think Mulan deserves to be number one so tell me for others. آپ can write for every one آپ wan't, for example If we have a lot who think Belle is a good role model, she will be the second. If آپ have سوالات ask in comments, the final فہرست (top ten) will be announced اگلے week! Please vote, I will make and a سروے for that and remember, say why!
Since I am trying to make the Princess Of The ماہ مزید popular, this is another one of my ideas. In the end of each ماہ I'll post articles, based on the countdowns for songs, hairstyles and outfits. There everybody will have the chance to discuss whether they agree with the results, what corresponded to their expectations, and what they wish would have been different!
Once again, I will be using pictures for my articles. A few months back I would have made a detailed explanation about each result, but since the حالیہ changes, Fanpop has been acting really weird. And yes, I don't like the option of writing long paragraphs with text, while the pictured are all clustered in the bottom of the article! So under each picture I will be posting one comment, related to the result. So in case آپ don't want your تبصرے گیا کیا پوسٹ in my articles, please contact me!
Here are the results of the POTM Hairstyles Countdown: ~*Rapunzel*~ (January 2013)! Enjoy and share your opinion!
