“Sir, we recently visited Mysore and found the Nandi atop Chamundi Hill fascinating. Can you tell us how much it weighs?” – poser to Karnataka finance and industries minister, Mr P G R Sindhia, from an eighteen something in a 29-member group visiting India under the Centre’s internship programme for diaspora youth.
The minister wasn’t sure. Would anyone have a clue?
We need to take the help of some Physics person. He may be able to give us the approximate weight by considering the height, width and length of the sculpture, consider the sp. gravity/density of granite and give us an approximation. Any physicists around?
