The buzz around Marvel's upcoming films, 'Avengers: Doomsday' and 'Avengers: Secret Wars,' has led to renewed attention on the 2019 hit 'Avengers: Endgame,' but for an unexpected reason on social media.
A pivotal scene from the film has appeared on an exam paper at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Varanasi, surprising Marvel fans and sparking amusement.
A photo of the exam paper has gone viral, showing students answering a 10-mark question about the iconic showdown between Captain America (Chris Evans) and Thanos (Josh Brolin).
In an unexpected twist, students were asked to apply engineering principles to the scene where Captain America proves he is worthy of wielding Thor’s hammer, Mjolnir.
The question was: "What is the stress at the handle of the hammer, which has a diameter of 5/8 inch?"
The exam also required students to calculate the strains on Mjolnir’s hammerhead and handle as it transitions from an elastic to a plastic zone after hitting Thanos.
Finally, students needed to determine the "recovering strain and remaining plastic strain" when Captain America summons the hammer back.
This creative blend of Hollywood action and engineering has captured the internet’s attention. Reactions on social media include comments like, “Cool professor for sure,” “This is dope!”
One user commented, “Hats off to the professor,” while another said, “No way Captain himself hasn't calculated his throw.”
“Hats off to the professor,” commented a netizen while another wrote, “No way Captain himself hasn't calculated his throw.”
