Calculate scaled down human model weight for practical experiment

[sophiecentaur]

And by guidance means, i meant if you couldn't answer you could direct me towards the answer is what i meant.

I have counted several simple answers in this thread - including one from me. There are also the reasonings behind them. Your 'figurine' could be made of any material that's just a bit less dense than water and you could test this by checking it floats with only a small proportion above water.

It seems that you have ignored the questions that we have asked but many of them could be very relevant if you plan to do anything more than just stand this figure on your 'apparatus'. Did you consider re-stating your question to make it clearer what you really mean? It appears that you want to keep this project a secret and so the information you have taken from the thread may let you down.

Now don't say data is insufficient. This is what the requirement is.

The data is insufficient. We need to know what particular aspect you are attempting to model.

If you were trying to model pressure on shoe material then scaling the weight down by a factor of 20² = 400 could be appropriate. That would preserve the pressure per square inch on the shoe material.

My question is this
I need to Scale down a human model (height & weight) for a study.
I couldn't experiment it on a 1:1 model, due to cost.
So, I need a human model of 9cm height.

What data is missing here in your proposed calculation?

The purpose and methods of the study. If you want the scale model to behave similarly to an unscaled human, those details matter.

We seem to be stuck on the spot and reasoning becomes ad hominem from the OP's side.

I further suppose that there is no answer to the question, especially since ...

... remains unanswered.

This is the standard trick for arguments: missing details followed by ad hominem responses demanding to leave the discussion. However, it is not the way we debate questions on PF.

Thread remains closed.
