How about calculating the size of a giant meatball that includes everyone in the world, from Hollywood stars to Asian aunts, from African children to uncles in Turkey?
The idea of making a sticky ball of meat from all the people on earth. you sound crazy we are aware. A ball of 7.88 billion people!
You’re probably thinking about it as you read the article. extraordinarily large a ball has come to life. However, in the continuation of the content, you will realize that this interesting meatball is not as ambitious as you think. If your calculators are ready, let’s get started without wasting time.
How many people can we fit in 1 cubic meter of space?
First of all, how about we start by refreshing what we remember from physics and chemistry classes? We know that density or density means the amount of matter per unit volume (provided, of course, that other conditions, namely temperature and pressure, are within certain standards). Alright density of a person how much and where will this information be useful for us?
The human density in one cubic meter of volume is 985 kilograms. In other words, we can say that the density of a person is 985 kg/m³. Approximately close to the density of water You have noticed that. While solving physics questions, we round the density of water to 1 gr/cm³, We will not do the same here, no matter how much it has relieved us in terms of processing intensity.
We’ve done the density part, now let’s take a look at the mass side. Assuming the average human weighs about 62 kilograms, mixing in a giant blender 16 people in 1 m³ area you can fit (But of course you shouldn’t try!).
When we want to calculate the area to be covered by 7.88 billion people in the world, we use a small multiplication operation. 496 million m³ we can reach the conclusion. In other words, we can fill all people on 496 million m³.
So how can we visualize this greatness?
If we think about the Eiffel Tower, which is the apple of the eye of Paris, which is 300 m long; sticky ball of whole people, approx. It has the length of 3 Eiffel Towers. In addition, this human ball is large enough to easily enter Central Park in New York.
Moreover, it is not the first time that one thinks of calculating this. In 2014, that is, in years when the population was relatively less, these crazy math operations was done. Considering that the world population was 7.159 billion that year, the round giant structure was located in the state of Arizona. Large enough to easily enter the Grand Canyon conclusion was reached.
How much can the size of this giant meatball change after 1 year?
We can predict the world population in 2023 with a simple calculation. We’ve estimated how much the world’s population will increase next year by multiplying the current population by 1.0105, so far, all right. But how much will our sticky ball be affected?
As the number of people increases, the volume of our ball will naturally increase. He turns back to our high school knowledge to calculate how the radius will change. Our physics teacher said, “The radius is directly proportional to the cube root of the volume.” We remember the expression. So, this year, the giant human ball with a radius of 500 meters will be released next year. probably 501,743.9 meters in radius will be .
As a result; of different ages, genders or occupations. billions of people can fit We built a giant ball together and realized that we weren’t actually as big as we thought. And where else can you think of that sticky ball of people could fit in?
