We know that there are many application of Doppler's Effect , SONAR system is one of them.This system is used to detect any obstacle around the ship, so as we know that this system was also used in Titanic Ship. Titanic was destroyed due to its dreadful collision with huge ice Berg! Even if there was SONAR system in the ship it sink. Wasn't it was able to detect that gigantic ice Berg?

Solution

actually the case is the ice berg was dictated but the captian thought as the ship's front part is stronger it will distroy the iceberg and go through unfortunatly it didnt happen

Due to the way the Titanic (and in fact most cruise ships) was designed, the front was much stronger than the sides. Equate it to cracking an egg, its generally easier to hit it on its side and break it than hit the rounded end. This doesn't mean the ship is invincible mind you, but it could take a lot harder blows from the front than the side.

Not to mention that even if the front did crack, it would flood fewer flood rooms. The ship was designed with flood rooms that would seal to prevent any leakage. It could withstand a maximum of 5 filling with water. In the actual 1912 incident, 8 were filled. But depending on how big the cracks, no more than 2–4 would fill from this. Even if they malfunction and water spills put(like it did in real life) this would buy more time for ships to come rescue survivors.

A third point is that this would bring the ship to a halt. This is important because it adds on to the time bought. During the incident, the ship’s engines were not shut off until they were disabled by the entering sea water, for various reasons including needing to run non-essential systems and negligence. This sped up the sinking by almost 5 hours. If the Titanic rams the iceberg, it would grind to a screeching halt, giving any nearby nearby ships even more time to come to my ship’s aid.

An elderly sailor met three people who were going to a wedding-feast. He stopped one of them, and started to tell him a strange story. “I was a sailor on a ship,” he said. “We left the harbor in good weather, and sailed south for many days. Then the weather changed, and we were driven towards the north pole by a very strong tide. There, we were surrounded by mist and snow and by waves as high as the mast of our ship. Soon, our ship was completely trapped in the mud. But one day, an albatross came through the fog. We called to it, and gave it food. Then a break appeared in the ice, and we began to sail south, the albatross followed us. It became our friend: we called to it, and gave it food.”

The young sailor stopped, with a haunted look on his face. “Whatever is the matter?” asked the wedding guest, anxiously. “I shot the albatross,” answered the ancient mariner “with my gun.”

He went on: “As we continued our journey, the weather improved a little; the wind continued to blow our ship northwards, away from the south pole, but the fog still blotted out the sun. My ship-mates constantly told me what a wicked thing I had done, to kill the bird that had brought the ice. But when the fog did not clear, they changed their minds: they told me that I had done a good thing. To kill the bird that brought the fog.”

Suddenly, the wind stopped, and our ship was becalmed: we could not move at all. Day after day the ship stayed in the same spot, with the rain beating down above us. Day after day, we had no water to drink. Our tongues dried up, and we could not speak. My ship-mates gave me evil looks. Since they felt that I was responsible for their problems, they hung the dead albatross around my waist as a sign of my guilt.”
