How can you find the density of a human body??

Question

i really need help!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 1

You would need the total mass of the body, which can be found from the weight. Then you would need volume of the body (which can be done from a water displacement experiment. Then you use the formula density = mass / volume.

Answer 2

Ok, you will need a bath tub. fill the tub up with water all the way to the top. outside of the bathtub you need to have something to gather all the water that will spill out. undress all your clothes and get into the bath tub. wait until there is no more water spilling out then get out of the bath tub. now measure how much water was spilled out (in whatever you was using). next step, weight yourself. then calculate your average body density by the formular:

Density = Mass/Volume

Answer 3

divide the mass ...body mass

- weight urself

over ur body volume

-fill up a bath tub n put urself in... but make sure u collect all the water displaced... then weight the water displace as volume..

Answer 4

divide its mass over its volume

Answer 5

a little less than water, which is 1000 kg/m³, as most people barely float in water, and someone with a lot of muscle tissue will sink in water.

.

Answer 6

Density equals mass divide by volume.

Answer 7

You can use the formula

Density=mass/volume

Answer 8

I mean its gonna be tough but if you really want to do it.  You can weigh yourself which will give you the mass.  Now the tricky part is finding the volume.  For this the easiest way which many of the times is simply not practical unless you are doing this for a study is to submerge a person under water. If you know how much water is in the but you will see how much water is displaced and that will give you the volume.  Then you will just divide the two and get the density.   Another thing is that bodies do float in water therefore the density of our bodies must be a tad bit less than the density of water.
