Geometry Giant question thingy?
If a giant was similar to a human but was 12 times as tall, and the human weighed 140 pounds, how much would the giant weigh?
So would the scale factor be cubed because the weight relates to volume, or would it just be the scale factor of 12:1 like the height??
I don't want the answer to the math question. Just the answer to MY question.
If he is SIMILAR to a human but 12 times as tall he would be 12 times as wide and 12 times as thick (physically speaking)
So you are right: he would weigh 140 * 12 * 12 * 12
Please note that his bones would only be 12 * 12 as thick, meaning his legs would have to ber12 times as much weight per square-inch of bone.
This cube-square law is the reason why you don't see large insects for instance - and why you can laugh at most science-fiction stories involving very large creatures e.g. monsters V aliens.
