If all Chinese do a jump at the same time, will it be measurable in other parts of the world?

Question

Or at least measurable in China?

Answer 1

No, because it wouldn't effect other places in the world if all those people jumped at once. Are you asking,"if everybody jumped at once, would it be as powerful as an earthquake?" No it wouldn't be as powerful as an earthquake. Earthquakes have more effect than everybody in China jumping at once.

Answer 2

No way. Not even in China.  Say that's about 225 Billion pounds or 100 Billion tons if you've got 1.8 million 125 lb people.  That's only 112.5 million tons, a single mountain would easily way well more than that.

Answer 3

Only if they all are as big as Yao Ming.

Just Kidding.

The real answer is NO WAY.

Answer 4

Lol nope :p

Would be cool though :p

Answer 5

See the chart for energy release for each Richter scale.I thing once some country tried with 3000 children.They were able to create equal force for Richter scale 3.

Approximate TNT (Tri nitro telecom )  Yield for Seismic Energy                    

                       Richter scale

                                   1                     30 lbs  

                                   2. 1 ton

     3. 29 ton

     4. 1000 ton

     5. 32000 ton

     6. 1 million ton

     7. 32 million ton

     8. 1 billion ton

     9. 32 billion ton

    10 1 trillion ton.

Answer 6

yes it would be utterly disastorous.  They would knock the earth out of its orbit and the sun's gravitaional  pull would send us hurtling towards the sun untill we are all burned alive.  That is why China has made a no jumping law.  It is against the law for anyone in china to jump.  That law came about in 1972 when 1/3 of China's population actualy jumped. Not once, not twice, but three times.  It was termed the great China jumping syndrom.
