We will be in touch
Anyone here know the total mass, internally, of the average British male and female?
Just wondering,
Cheers
roper
about 68sqm if spread separately to an even thickness determined by original weight.
(I'd tell you the weight to thickness ratio but then I'd have to turn you into an "art installation" also)
mass [i]internally[/i] whats that mean?
Yes what are you talking about?
Mass or volume ?
err..was thinking by mm square, the total volume (size) of the average UK male and female (internal space).
Ta.
Mass is measured in KG. Weight in Newtons and Volume in metres cubed.
Why?
even by STW's esoteric standards, that's pretty left field

Correlation between body volume and body mass in men

A study was made of the body density of 979 United States Air Force enlisted men and associated personnel. The following measurements were made: a) body height, b) body weight, c) body volume by water displacement, and d) residual lung volume. Surface area, body volume, corrected for residual lung volume and gas in the intestinal tract, and body weight divided by volume were then computed.
There was a very close correlation between body weight and body volume, a poor correlation between body height and body volume, and a moderate correlation between body surface area and body volume. A linear equation was derived to compute volume from weight only, volume in liters = 1.015 weight (in kilograms) – 4.937. Prediction equations may be used to compute body fat, total body water, and dry fat-free mass from body weight alone.
Two implications of this study are: a) among men of military age, individuals of equal body weight have remarkably similar body composition; and b) in this same population, the larger men tend to have the lower density.
the above was an essential consideration when planning the area the liquidized bodies were to occupy.
They still have yet to be found.
Lie in the bath. Get someone to run the taps until your completely submerged.
Mark a line at the water level. Climb out, letting water drain off you as you do. Measure how much water it takes to fill back up to the mark.
1ltr = 1*10^-3m^3
I reckon about 130ltrs.
and then shout "eureka"
You only just float under normal circumstances, and will sink if you exhale completely.
SO reckon on a density of 1g/ml; your volume in L is the same as your weight in Kg.
when your gf said she wanted you [i]inside[/i] her, I'm pretty sure she meant something very different
