Now you're making me think!Don't forget it wouldn't be a lead coffin,the body would have been wrapped in thin lead sheet which was soldered to seal it then put in a wood coffin.However, I see your point, I'll have to resurrect my maths, physics and brain! That may not be possible but I'll have a go. If I don't come back with an answer don't be surprised.
Busman747, keep them coming, it's lovely seeing them.
