Sorry, this seems a bit strange.
1 square mm --> 0.000001 square meter.
So then, P = (F/A) = (2000/0.000001) --> 2 000 000 000 Pascals which amounts to 2 GPa. Where did you calculate 2000 GPa from?
OK. I understand your answer.So then the summary is as follows:
1) Boxers may be able to generate massive amounts of force however unless this is delivered to an appropriate small area the pressure is likely to be much smaller. For example, if we take the most conservative estimate that the...
Oh, so what you are saying is that whilst 2000N may be generated by a standard boxer, concentrating all of that in a small area is what leads to the fracture/break.
But why does the first statement make no sense?
Sorry, I don't understand. The text as taken from the article is here:
"His bottom line, primarily based on a bike-helmet study published in the Journal of Neurosurgery: Pediatrics, is that a skull crush would require 520 pounds (2,300 Newtons) of force"
Is this not talking about force? I do...
Hi All,
My question is in relation to forces that can come through movement. For example, the skull is stated to take around 520 pounds of force or around 2000N:

However, boxers can punch well in excess of...
