Sizes, Weights, and Capacity

[GGR]

Hey,

I'm looking to figure out how to work out the weights and capacity of breasts at different sizes. It's part of the information gathering phase for a game I'm trying to get going. The game will be mostly text driven so I'd like to go into details and the like.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Something I dug up that may help you out.

Please note, I did not write this.

Fact A: If the volume of an object is doubled, its mass is cubed.

Fact B: A gallon (3,785.41 cm^2) of water weighs 8 pounds ( 2.99 kg) and produces a force of 37.85 psi, while the atmosphere at sea level generates approx 14.70 psi.

Fact C: The tensile strength of human skin is 1600gm/mm^2 or 2767.74 pounds/inch^2

Thusly: the maximum a person could contain in their breasts without bursting is 146 gallons (73 gallons x2), which would weigh 1168 lbs and each breast would be approx 24 feet in diameter! That?s 584lbs per breast! (This does not take into account the variances in pressure or the atmosphere or the varying density of the actual material, as this is intended as a kind of ?rule of thumb? for DMs. Maybe we should call it a ?Maximum Safe Size? after which the odds of exploding start really climbing.) To move normally, a person would have to have Str 36 to move normally! (This explains why it?s always the fighter who?s stacked!)

Note: All sizes given in this section are based on a medium creature. Please scale sizes and weights to the creature in question. A fairy could not have 12 foot in diameter breasts without a great deal of magic, nor would a frost giant be likely to burst from having ?mere? 24 foot in diameter breasts.

Thats some hardcore DnD right there lol

I'm still a VERY far way away from completing it, but here is a small teaser.

You need Java 1.6 installed. It works as thus:

You enter commands in the bottom text box, usually in the format "<command> <target>"

The commands are: look, get, drink, and stat.
Blue text will later mark doors, green text marks items. You use the coloured part for the targets

Walthrough:
look
get brown
drink brown

You can type "stat' in between to see your character's stats.
And you can type "grow" to make your breasts grow, although it is more a cheat, and doesn't doe much except change the "stat" description.

I'm probably gonna ask someone for art later to replace the Cyan bit, but that's only if it's worth going ahead with.

It's gonna be a puzzle game where you use BE, GTS, AP, and the like to solve puzzles.

Watcha think?

This needs a bit o work

no, if volume is doubled, then mass is doubled. If the dimensions, however are doubled, then mass is multiplied by 8.

If mass or volume changes by any factor and it is assumed that all dimensions increase equally to accommodate that factor, then each of the three dimensions will change by the cubic root of that factor. If the dimensions change equally by any factor, then the mass and volume change by that factor cubed.

your bad math "fact" made me post on a fetish forum.

It gets worse. Whoever wrote that note Hawkeye quoted messed up the arithmetic.

Taking the 73 gallons (wherever they got that from) does give 584 pounds. But water has a density of 62.5 lbs/ft^3 (or 1000 kg/m^3), so 584 lbs. only has a volume of 9.34 cubic feet. You can get the diameter of a sphere by dividing its volume by about 0.524, and then taking the cube root of that result. [I'll be happy to supply the derivation if anyone really wants it...] So you only get a diameter of about 2.6 feet, not 24 feet!

(C'mon, there are water towers with diameters of 24 feet -- a sphere of water that big would weigh over 200 tons! Another check: you're mostly water! If you and two friends, weighing around 450-600 pounds total, huddled down to form a rough sphere, how big across would that be? Closer to 3 feet across, or 24 feet?)

Thanks, that helps a great deal

What a weird way to get physics into this, ahahahaha..


Man that's a neat way to get into it though. Of course, they say nothing about the nerves and veins and whatnot hidden in the flesh. Much less the mammary glands/ducts themselves.


Of course, if we wanted realism, we wouldn't be delving -THAT- deep into this thing.

Isn't it funny that we have such a suspension of disbelief about breasts?

DM: You walk into a forest clearing. Roll saving throw and cup size

[Mr GorpThorp]

Something I think a lot of people overlook is that the difference in mass between an A and a B cup is a lot less than the difference between a B and a C, or a C and a D. It's not just an inch greater of measurement, it's an exponential volume increase.

I want to cast magic missile......on teh boobz!
