Rapunzel Memes

The fairy tale meets Newton's laws of motion in spectacular fashion! This meme brilliantly applies physics to Rapunzel's hair situation with a free body diagram showing what happens when her center of mass shifts as her hair extends. As her lengthy locks grow outward, the moment arm increases, creating a torque that eventually causes her to catapult out of the tower at high velocity. The prince's shocked face as he witnesses his rescue attempt turn into a human ballistic missile is priceless. Conservation of angular momentum waits for no fairy tale princess!
