if ur wearing an inflatable suit that is really strechy and u put in 10000000 sq. feet of helium will u float?

Question

yes or no
please explane
best answer gets 10 points

Answer 1

10000000 Cubic feet of helium will lift 629464.28 pounds of weight or 315 tons!!!!!!!!! OR 53 adult elephants!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


ALL YOU NEED is about 4000 cubic feet of helium to lift yourself.

Here is a example:
To figure out how many pounds 4000 cubic feet will lift:
4000 x 28.2 = 112800 then 112800 divided by 448 = 251.79 pounds.
So 4000 cubic feet of helium will lift 251.79 pounds.


Helium Flotation
Helium balloons work by the same law of buoyancy. In this case, the helium balloon that you hold by a string is floating in a "pool" of air (when you stand underwater at the bottom of a swimming pool, you are standing in a "pool of water" maybe 10 feet deep -- when you stand in an open field you are standing at the bottom of a "pool of air" that is many miles deep). The helium balloon displaces an amount of air (just like the empty bottle displaces an amount of water). As long as the helium plus the balloon is lighter than the air it displaces, the balloon will float in the air.

It turns out that helium is a lot lighter than air. The difference is not as great as it is between water and air (a liter of water weighs about 1,000 grams, while a liter of air weighs about 1 gram), but it is significant. Helium weighs 0.1785 grams per liter. Nitrogen weighs 1.2506 grams per liter, and since nitrogen makes up about 80 percent of the air we breathe, 1.25 grams is a good approximation for the weight of a liter of air.

Therefore, if you were to fill a 1-liter soda bottle full of helium, the bottle would weigh about 1 gram less than the same bottle filled with air. That doesn't sound like much -- the bottle itself weighs more than a gram, so it won't float. However, in large volumes, the 1-gram-per-liter difference between air and helium can really add up. This explains why blimps and balloons are generally quite large -- they have to displace a lot of air to float.

A 100-foot-diameter balloon can lift 33,000 pounds! Here is how you can figure out the lifting capacity of the helium in a spherical helium balloon:

1. Determine the volume of the balloon.
The volume of a sphere is 4/3 * pi * r3, where r is the radius of the balloon. So first determine the radius of the sphere (the radius is half the diameter). Cube the radius (multiply it by itself twice: r*r*r), multiply by 4/3 and then multiply by Pi. If you are measuring your balloon in feet, that gives you the volume of the balloon in cubic feet.
2. One cubic foot of helium will lift about 28.2 grams, so multiply the volume of the balloon by 28.2.
3. Divide by 448 -- the number of grams in a pound -- to determine the number of pounds it can lift.

So, for example, a 20-foot balloon has a radius of 10 feet. 10* 10 * 10 * 3.14 * 4/3 = 4,186 cubic feet of volume. 4,186 cubic feet * 28.2 grams/cubic feet = 118,064 grams. 118,064 grams / 448 grams per pound = 263 pounds of lifting force.

Although not used much anymore, hydrogen balloons were once quite popular. Hydrogen weighs just 0.08988 grams per liter. However, it is highly flammable, so the slightest spark can cause a huge explosion.

So why are helium and hydrogen so much lighter than air? It's because the hydrogen and helium atoms are lighter than a nitrogen atom. They have fewer electrons, protons and neutrons than nitrogen atoms do, and that makes them lighter (the approximate atomic weight of hydrogen is 1, helium is 4 and nitrogen is 14). Approximately the same number of atoms of each of these elements fills approximately the same amount of space. Therefore, the gases made of lighter atoms are lighter.

Answer 2

You will most definitely float unless the suit is really heavy which is very probable and it is too heavy for the helium to lift. also a human is probably way too heavy to float, but maybe the impossible can happen with a brain, hope, and a little luck. 10000000 sq ft is an awful lot so it just might work also. if you float tell me how lol!!!!!

WARNING: if you find out how to float DO NOT pop it or you will fall and die!!! oopsies! puddle of human on the ground!

Answer 3

The amount of helium that fits in 10 million square feet is zero.
The amount of helium that fits in a CUBIC foot depends on the pressure.
If I put no helium in the suit, I will float in salt water and may float in fresh water, especially if my lungs are full of air.
If I weigh 100 pounds and put in enough helium at a low enough pressure that it displaces at least 100 pounds more air than the weight of the helium, then I will float.

Answer 4

specific, if the wholesome is authorized to strengthen like a balloon, you will flow, provided it is extremely easy weight and powerful adequate to hold the rigidity. you ought to flow with lots much less helium. One guy tied a team of helium balloons to a backyard chair and floated over L.A. He used a b.b. gun to pop some balloons so as that he would land.

Answer 5

Why do you keep asking essentially the same question over and over??

Gas is measured in cubic feet or liters, not in square feet by the way. Therefore your scenario is not possible.

Answer 6

ive seen this question asked every day almost, whats up?
Yes when you inhale it, you will think you are floating, really high.
