To figure it out, you’ll need two similar feats of superhero strength and a little bit of physics.
If this block is at rest, then two things must be true. The net force must be equal to zero , and the net torque must be zero . Just a quick reminder about: You can think of this as a "rotational force," or a force that causes changes in rotational motion. The magnitude of a torque depends on the strength of the force , the distance from the force to a pivot point , and the angle of the force .
I can use this equation to find the unknown value of the force that Spider-Man exerts. I'm going to need some values—like the mass of half a ferry and the length of the whole thing. Wikipedia does a great job of listing stats that you wouldn't think you would ever actually need, so I knowhas a mass of 3,335 gross tons and a length of 94 meters. I will also need the tilt angle of the boat, which I got by measuring the angle onscreen: 20 degrees.
newtons, or 2.8 million pounds. Now we can make a comparison: The Tobey Maguire Spider-Man pulls with a force equal to the weight of one elephant, but Tom Holland’s pulls with an equivalent ofRemember, this value is based on estimations, and some of these estimations are most certainly wrong. It's very possible that the force needed to hold up the ferry could be half my calculated value and the train-stopping force could be twice my value.
