    Force Measure
AI Thread Summary
To measure the force of a squeeze, using a balloon or punching bag connected to a manometer is recommended for more accurate results. This method allows for the measurement of pressure exerted during the squeeze. A tire gauge could serve as a crude alternative, though it lacks precision due to the complexities of human anatomy. The discussion highlights the challenges in measuring force directly on a person. Overall, using specialized equipment provides a more reliable measurement of squeezing force.

If I squeezed someone with a hug, how would I measure the force

Force on what?
How would I measure the amount of force on someone if I squeezed them
 
The measurement would be easier done by sqeezing some type of balloon or punching bag instead, connected into a manometer.

Crudely speaking : a tire gauge in the lucky person's mouth... not accurate because the lungs and stomach aren't all that is deformed, but it's the general idea.

Thread 'Question about pressure of a liquid'

I am looking at pressure in liquids and I am testing my idea. The vertical tube is 100m, the contraption is filled with water. The vertical tube is very thin(maybe 1mm^2 cross section). The area of the base is ~100m^2. Will he top half be launched in the air if suddenly it cracked?- assuming its light enough. I want to test my idea that if I had a thin long ruber tube that I lifted up, then the pressure at "red lines" will be high and that the $force = pressure * area$ would be massive...

Thread 'Why is the 3 body problem unsolvable? And what will happen if someone solves it?'

I feel it should be solvable we just need to find a perfect pattern, and there will be a general pattern since the forces acting are based on a single function, so..... you can't actually say it is unsolvable right? Cause imaging 3 bodies actually existed somwhere in this universe then nature isn't gonna wait till we predict it! And yea I have checked in many places that tiny changes cause large changes so it becomes chaos........ but still I just can't accept that it is impossible to solve...
