Well, we have no idea how big you arePotential123 said:
but perhaps you could imagine trying to squeeze a full-size replica of yourself into as short as possible a length of round pipe. So for ease of transport, you could remove both arms and lay them along your legs. Perhaps remove both feet and pack them around your neck. How long and how round would you estimate the final cylindrical package to be?CAF123 said:
I am well aware of the forum rules, I just thought that since a method approximating the body as a volume of cylinder was introduced, I would give another way. On reflection, maybe yes, I should have waited - all I can do is apologise.phinds said:
The volume of a human body can be measured using either water displacement or mathematical formulas. Water displacement involves submerging the body in a container of water and measuring the amount of water that is displaced. Mathematical formulas use measurements such as height, weight, and body mass index to estimate the volume.
The average volume of a human body varies depending on factors such as age, gender, and body composition. On average, an adult male has a body volume of around 66,000 cm3 and an adult female has a volume of around 52,000 cm3.
Yes, body volume can change with weight loss or gain. When a person loses weight, their body volume decreases due to a decrease in fat and muscle mass. When a person gains weight, their body volume increases due to an increase in fat and muscle mass.
Body volume is just one aspect of overall health and should not be used as the sole measure of health. Other factors such as body mass index, body fat percentage, and overall physical and mental well-being are also important to consider.
There is a weak correlation between body volume and height, meaning that taller individuals may have slightly higher body volumes than shorter individuals due to their larger body size. However, this correlation is not strong enough to accurately estimate a person's body volume based on their height alone.
