if u wear an inflatble suit 10 times your size and u fill it with 20 pounds of water will u sink n water?

Question

no air n suit

Answer 1

Yes you would. With no air in the suit, the pressure of the water inside and out side cancels each other out so you would sink just like you would with and empty suit.

Answer 2

It depends. Do you float in water normally? (When I was in high school, I didn't. My body mass/fat ratio was so low I would sink)

It also depends on what the suit is made of. If the suit is neutral floatation, of slightly buoyant, and you naturally float, then yes you would float in a suit filled with water 10 times or even 100 times your size filled with any amount of water.

If the suit is not buoyant, but your body has enough buoyancy to overcome it, you will float, if not, you'd better be able to hold your breath a very long time...

as a previous post stated, the water inside and outside the suit cancel each other out. The only defining factors would be the composition of the suit and your natural buoyancy or lack thereof.

Answer 3

I believe u would, yes.
If there is no air in the suit then it wouldn't be bouyant.

here's an experiment for ya to answer that question.

Fill a balloon with water and see if it sinks.
(If u want u can put a small glass bottle in the balloon to replicate a human, but with the size ratio u said, it wouldn't make much, if any difference)

Peace-Out

Answer 4

Hah hah. No.

The inflatable suit is10 times your size, not your weight and unless you weight 2 pounds, the suit will act as a floatation device and keep you afloat even with 20 pounds of water.

(must be filled with some sort of gas though)

Answer 5

lol! 20 times my size? if its filled with air,theres no way you would sink.

me (6'2 and 170lbs) x 20 filled with air... sink or swim

Answer 6

I don't think so. I don't know thought thats confusing-- I guess I wasn't much help huh?

Answer 7
