A3_7 Density of an Elf

Abstract

In the film and book ‘The Fellowship of the Ring,’ the elf Legolas is shown to walk on the surface of a snow bank. This paper outlines the investigation into the density the character, as portrayed by Orlando Bloom, would have to be in order for this to be a possibility. It was found that his mass would be 6.05×10−5 kg, giving him a density of 7.75×10−4 kgm-3.
