FILL a water butt until water flows out of the overflow. Let the water settle and then immerse the head completely, keeping it submerged until the water level has settled, having first arranged some method of collecting the displaced water that will flow out of the overflow. The volume of water displaced should then be measured and the experiment repeated, this time immersing the whole body. Again the volume of displaced water should be recorded. The ratio of the first volume to the second, multiplied by total body weight gives the proportion of body weight that is due to the head. This method assumes the human body has a uniform density and does not take into account the contribution of any pegs on the nose needed to prevent drowning.
i REALLY needed to :( I can't say. But I have until tomorrow to measure my breath in centimetres or i am in SO much trouble :(
1. Get a (very) large metric measuring cup and a friend.
2. Fill with enough water to fully submerge your head.
3. Dunk head in water.
4. Have friend measure volume of water displaced in cubic centimeters. (Hope he can measure quickly.)
5. Unless my memory of high school physics is mistaken-- which is possible, given that it was 19 years ago-- that should be the mass of your head in grams.
awesome anser thanks! i weighred my head like you say and it weighs 17kg !
