Archimedes Boobs

[Bubuk]

It is dare for girls.

Put your boobs into some water tank then measure volume of displaced water.

Results post here (also estimate the error of your measurement).

I wouldn't even know where to start!

It's pretty simple. You can do it two ways. Just get a big container - a small cooler would work - and fill it with carefully measured water.

If you're alone, fill it to the point of overflowing, then let it even out. Lean over and let just your boobs be submerged in to the water - pushing some of the water out. Then measure how much you have left.

If you have someone to help, use a glass or see-through plastic container and mark it with volume measurements (liter, milliliter, etc). Again, measure a specific amount of water into the container, then lower your breasts in. Have the other person watch the water level and note how much it rises. If you're math inclined you can convert that volume to mass... :P

if you did everything in ml then that converts instantly to grams. ie 15 ml of water = 15 grams

I hope size of your boobs is greater than 15 ml.

Density of boobs is less than density of water so mass of boobs is less.

Could the water pressure possibly cause a very slight calculation error?

You know, there might be a slight difference between a very high or a very low elevation.

Or maybe, if someone's boobs are very long, they will hang farther down in the tank where the water pressure might be slightly higher and therefore slightly compress the boobs resulting in a slightly smaller volume of boobs.

Would temperature of the water make a difference? Would the boobs expand or contract as the water temperature goes from freezing to cool to luke warm to hot?

And where exactly do the boobs start? It is easy to see where they end, but where do they start? So how far do you lean over the tank of water?

I am just illuminating some factors here to be sure we are comparing "apples-to-apples".

Think of it in proportions... If you were to take all the measurements, convert it into cm^3 (SI for volume) and then get the altitude of the location of measurement, you could roughly calculate each of the persons' boobs' volume and mass at STP (noted: you will need a measurement from STP to be able to determine an accurate Bcm^3/Wcm^3) [b=boob, w=water])... but who really wants to spend their time analyzing all that data?

Also, the body is comprised of mostly water, therefore, the pressure inside the container will be close to the same as inside the body...so really, the measurements shouldn't be too off

Measure square of body. You will need help.
You can strip nude for increasing precision and motivation of helper.

Only at standard temperature and pressure (STP) It also assumes boobs are of the same density as water and homogeneous. Room for a little experimental error here.

I love how there are more scientific replies than reports here =p

Shall we say that the male version is the same but with the penis instead?

[Redx000x]

I will totally be trying this later tonight (male version that Ribbit suggested). I'll post the results!

[aff587]

d'oh.

right and because a person consists out of 100% H2O its density is the same as water we can assume that people will not sink when placed on water. great that there are are no lipids in your breast. maybe that's why some are so soggy.

1cm³ of stuff * density = weight of the cubic
density of water approx 1 (considering temperature and the dozens of different states that water can be in)
density of human = something larger than 1
denity of oil approx 0,7 thus never fill a pool with oil.
density of gold = 19,3g/cm³ so have fun diving in that or in Hg.

and the only pressure that is important is that the water has enough pressure to come out of your faucets, cause there is no other pressure applied.

what do you guys do in your physics classes?

[Redx000x]

So, I tried this dare, and my results! I'm 7 inches in length and 275 mL in volume.

[Stix]

Ok I haven't done this dare...but I just wanted to say...

I LOVE the thread title! It cracks me up every time!

[Redx000x]

I love how out of 13 replies I'm the only one to try it! And I didn't even doe the original dare. Though, doing this with a penis, I can only imagine how how much of a pain it would be to do this with boobs.
