Unless you were living under a rock, you should by now have seen the footage of the spindly bridge toppling over like it was made from matchsticks. The ship was making about 6.5 knots at the time of the accident. Aleta sails at 6.5 knots in good conditions. Had we struck the bridge in the same place going the same speed, I would hope our life jackets would have inflated as Aleta sank gently into the soft Chesapeake mud. On a slow day we might have made the news cycle.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s nothing particularly distinctive about the Dali. She\u2019s a bulk-y carrier that we could spot about seven miles away at sea. At two miles distant she would look huge and imposing and I\u2019d want to make sure our courses never crossed. At a young age I learned things don\u2019t happen quickly at sea, until they do. With that in mind, let us compare Dali and Aleta\u2019s specifications:<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/aleta.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/dali-vs-aleta-table.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-16654 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/aleta.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/dali-vs-aleta-table.jpg?resize=604%2C256&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"dali-vs-aleta-table\" width=\"604\" height=\"256\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/aleta.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/dali-vs-aleta-table.jpg?resize=520%2C220&amp;ssl=1 520w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/aleta.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/dali-vs-aleta-table.jpg?resize=1024%2C433&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/aleta.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/dali-vs-aleta-table.jpg?resize=768%2C325&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/aleta.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/dali-vs-aleta-table.jpg?resize=1536%2C649&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/aleta.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/dali-vs-aleta-table.jpg?resize=215%2C91&amp;ssl=1 215w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/aleta.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/dali-vs-aleta-table.jpg?w=1656&amp;ssl=1 1656w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/aleta.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/dali-vs-aleta-table.jpg?w=1208&amp;ssl=1 1208w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 604px) 100vw, 604px\" \/><\/a>In short, Dali is 25 times longer, 12 times broader, and needs 8 times more water under her keel as Aleta does. Yet, she only makes three times Aleta\u2019s hull speed. Why, you ask? Perhaps you already know.<\/p>\n<h6>Physics<\/h6>\n<p>This early version of a scene from The Graduate helps sum up the differences between Dali and Aleta:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>Mr. McGuire<\/strong>: I want to say one word to you.

Carol avoided it somehow.

One with a tragic loss of lives that might have been much worse if not for the quick thinking of the bridge\u2019s work crew. From there we might examine the burgeoning use of gigantic cargo ships, the general lawlessness of international shipping, and the tragedy of the commons that the oceans have become.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s put that to one side for a moment. Let\u2019s consider all the unseen work that goes into making our lives livable in the modern world. The invisible workers filling potholes in the middle of the night. The crews of ships leaving port to sail halfway around the world on journeys that might keep them away from their families for months. Then there\u2019s the hard work of the rescue services doing their best in the most difficult circumstances. These are the invisible hands that keep the economy running.

First, let\u2019s convert the ship\u2019s speed from knots to meters per second (m\/s). One knot is approximately equal to 0.51444 m\/s. Therefore, 6.5 knots is: [ 6.5 \\text{ knots} \\times 0.51444 \\frac{\\text{m}}{\\text{s per knot}} = 3.34486 \\text{ m\/s} ] <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Next, we calculate the acceleration using the formula ( a = \\frac{\\Delta v}{\\Delta t} ), where ( \\Delta v) is the change in velocity and ( \\Delta t ) is the change in time. The ship decelerated from 3.34486 m\/s to 0 m\/s in 5 seconds, so: [ a = \\frac{0 \\text{ m\/s} &#8211; 3.34486 \\text{ m\/s}}{5 \\text{ s}} = -0.668972 \\text{ m\/s}^2 ] <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The negative sign indicates deceleration. Now, we can calculate the force. The mass of the ship is given as 150,000 metric tonnes, which is 150,000,000 kg in SI units. Using the formula for force: [ F = m \\times a ] [ F = 150,000,000 \\text{ kg} \\times -0.668972 \\text{ m\/s}^2 ] [ F = -100,345,800 \\text{ N} ]<\/em><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Position: 39\u00b013&#8217;00.9&#8243;N 76\u00b031&#8217;40.1&#8243;W A bit of maritime history was made this week when the appropriately named bulk cargo carrier MV Dali crashed surreally into the Francis Scott Key bridge just outside Baltimore Harbour.
