if u are in an inflateable suit and u put 2000 pounds of helium gas in the suit and inflate it will u float?

Question

yes or no
please explane

Answer 1

No.

China Jon gave you the solution - assuming the "suit" you are referring to is a human size suit, and the liquid you want to float in is fresh water.

The mathematical solution to this is: D=V/M

where
D = density, measured in g/cubic cm3 or g/cc
V = volume, measured in cubic cm or cc
M = Mass, measured in grams

Note that V and M can also be measured in cubic meters and metric tonnes, as that still gives you the same D, but the scientific standard is grams per cubic centimeter.

Any thing with a density of greater than 1 will sink, if its less than 1 it will float, and if its exactly 1 than it will depend on the temperature of the water but it will be essentially weightless - again it has to be fresh water and not sea water. Allowing for a little air in the lungs, a human body has a density of around 0.92-0.96 g/cc (women are a little less than men on average, and fat people are always less than thin people) so we normally float. Going back to the formula a naked 90 kg man (90,000 g or about 200 pounds) has a volume of just over 90,000 cc, or 90 liters. That yields a density of less than 1, so he will float.

Now if we take the same volume of the human body and add 2000 pounds to it the density will be much greater than 1. So of course he will sink - very quickly!

You can do the math yourself to change the volume of the suit, as that was not provided in your question.

It doesn't matter what the 2,000 pounds consists of - mercury, lead, or helium.

But this is really a silly question because (1) if you were able to compress that much helium into the space of a human body (much less the space inside an inflatable suit worn by a human) it would be a liquid, and (2) there is no suit that could hold that much pressure.

Answer 2

NO, the inflatable suit is not rated to hold 2000#'s of helium gas. The seams are the weak points in the suit.. It is imposable to get 2000#'s of gas in a inflatable suit.. I don't think this is the answer you are looking for but, I thought I would throw in my 2#'s of helium gas!!!! Good Luck

Answer 3

Yes or No

Float depends on what is in what, and how much volume it takes. Will a ton of wood float? Will a ton of lead float?

Why will a ton of wood float, but not a ton of lead? Because the volume (Space) that a ton of wood takes up WEIGHS LESS than that same VOLUME of water. But a ton of lead WEIGHS MORE than that volume of water weighs.

So your question can not be answered until you provide the volume to which the suit is inflated. If it is the size of a person (more or less) then it would sink, even in water. If, when it is inflated, it displaces a volume of water (or air) that weighs more than the suit, then it will float.

;-D You better stick to figuring out the best inflation pressure for your bike tires.

Answer 4

i do no longer comprehend once you are the comparable guy that keeps asking this, yet right it incredibly is the respond: there isn't any elementary answer: in case your adventure inflates with 6000 lbs of helium, the section it takes up must be greater desirable than 6000 lbs of air at your altitude. this is going to be so huge, you need to as nicely only get in a mini blimp.

Answer 5

Yes!, You will float... Why Hell You more than likely with a good breeze behind you You may land in Paris France before the next morning newspaper comes out.

Answer 6

yes. helium is lighter than air

Answer 7

gases are mesuered in cubic feet not pounds.
