Alright, so ever since I saw 라푼젤 way back when, my mind has kind of been in a tizzy over a lot of things. Mostly, my 사랑 for said 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 부엌, 주방 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 구글 we go!
An 기사 from LiveScience states this: "A cubic inch of bone can in principle 곰 a load of 19,000 lbs. (8,626 kg) 또는 더 많이 — 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 초 has a 25 percent chance of knocking a person unconscious."
LiveScience is talking about punching, so we have to account for the fact that 당신 can do a lot 더 많이 damage with a cast iron skillet versus a fist - the logical part of my brain says with that pan smacking someone, 당신 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 당신 have it, the math/science/word jumble behind the frying pan battles in Tangled!

I look up to 신데렐라 because she is an amazing princess who takes pride in her personality. 신데렐라 never let's others bring her down, when her evil step sisters and step mother would say mean things to her and force her to be their maid she never stoop to their level. 신데렐라 would always stay positive and know that someday her happy ever after would come and sooner 또는 later it did. So I think everyone should be like 신데렐라 and never give up hope and stoop to others level. Whenever someone mistreats 당신 또는 makes 당신 feel down just remember 신데렐라 and have hope that someday 당신 will have your Happily Ever After.
