... Saving jack:a cool investigation (THM) Physics Portfolio By Clement Ng 12.6 Aim: Investigating whether the effect of clothing would have any affect on Jack's hypothermia state and his tragic death at the end of the movie "Titanic". Description: Water at 5?C is used to model the sea water Jack is submerged in. Furthermore, a test tube with 15ml of 40?C water is used to act as the body of Jack. The test tube is wrapped with varying layers of clothing and submerged in the modeled sea water. A probe is connected to both the test tube and a data logger hence the temperature change of the test tube with 15ml of 40?C water is measured. The volume/temperature of the sea water is kept constant. Furthermore, the level test tube is submerged at is also kept constant. All used equipment would be kept constant throughout the whole experiment, except for the use of the
