Project Name : Sunken Treasure
Theme Name : Mathematics Modelling
Objective: To determine how best to retrieve the sunken treasure with minimum amount of work done. To fix a Fermat point at which work done will be minimum.
Scientific Principle Involved: Work = force x distance
To fix a Fermat point geometrically
Materials used: fish tank which was available in school, card boards, strings and small weights from physics lab.
Working Investigation / Finding: Fermat point is located for the minimum displacement thus minimizing work done using physics and geometry.
Utility further scope: To retrieve sunken objects /ships with minimum work done thus saving time, resources money making rescue operations easy and eco-friendly.
Fermat point can be used as location facilitator for optimal placement of facilities to minimize transport cost, sport strategy, GIS software our proposal,
Name of the School: New Horizon Public School, Airoli, Navi Mumbai.
