What size of a cube of Styrofoam would it take to crush a human?
>>
just use google moron
a metric cube supposedly weighs ~50 kgs

>Quoting a bike-helmet study published in the Journal of Neurosurgery: Pediatrics, he wrote that 235 kg (520 pounds) or 2,300 newtons of force would be needed to crush a human skull, almost twice as much force as human hands could possibly muster.
going off that 235 kg mark

according to that, 1x1x1 meter cube of styrofoam is 50 kg. so you'd need like 4.75 cubic meters of styrofoam to have the weight necessary
>>
Just a stupid question I thought of just now
>>
Wtf? A 1x1x1 meter cube of styrofoam doesn't seem like it would weight 50kg...

>a 1x1x1 styrofoam cube actually weighs 50 kgs

it's true but i don't believe it
>>
>>9057486
You just need a point of reference to see how light that actually is. A m3 of iron weights 7.8 tons, a m3 of oak 900 kg. Styrofoam is even lighter than balsa wood, at 125 kg/m3.

Well I was thinking about a person supinated with a cube right above them. From what I read, the chest can sustain about 1300 lbs of force

What drives a man to fill out the 'name' box before posting?
>>
>>9057467
Yea, I wouldn't put it past 10kg myself.

A big Styrofoam block used on the acoustic isolation of a theater fell on this south Brazilian during a stand up. Now days he only does stand downs, so yeah. 30 kilograms, 3 meters from the ground.
>>
>>9057528
smart bait
>>
>>9057457
probably a little more because of a less than ideal setup, after all you could have a thin but tall styrofoam wedge over somebody's throat and it would need much less force.
>>
>>9057528
I'm sorry for being a huge faggot I won't do it again.
>>
>>9057551
Now there's an embarassing story.

>"How'd you get injured?"
>....I got hit by a piece of Styrofoam
>>
>>9057551
at first i read this wrong and thought you were trolling, but that's pretty fucked up
