Search: how much do legs weigh
Why:
Vin: Isn't the dumb slut only 50% of a dumb slut?Answer: Uch, nobody freaking knows.
me: What do you mean? Is she an amputee?
Vin: The legs do not account for 50% of a person.
me: They might. Your femur alone makes up 27% of your height.
On NetWellness:
The weight of the leg will depend on the body type of the person. People with a more muscular body type will have a heavier leg than those whose body is made up of more fatty tissue. Some types of severe swelling such as lymphedema will add a significant amount to the weight of the leg. In general the leg is approximately 9-10% of the weight of the entire body.On Answers.com (via WiiFit):
Wii fit says your legs represent 40% of your body,On Answers.com:
According to my biomechanics instructor the leg weighs approximately W/7. Where W is the total body weight.Source: Nobody, useless
The More You Know: I don't know where I got that 27% number, but I have had it in my brain for at least a decade. According to forensic anthropologists, the real formula is:
height approximately = femur height times 2 & 2/3So my femur should be 24.7 inches long? I don't know about that. Somebody get me a ruler.
Actually, you should just get two rulers. That would make things easy.
ReplyDeleteI used a tape measure. I can't really tell where my bone begins and ends, but my best estimation is that it's between 19 and 20 inches long, which is 29ish % of my height (if I'm doing math properly, which it's entirely possible that I'm not).
ReplyDeleteI also think your wingspan is supposed to be equivalent to your height. But, I'm not positive about that.
