1M kilograms so 1 gigagram or 1000 tonnes or about ten whales.
- chmod775 4y agoThanks. I got a couple whales of undetermined species in my aquarium and handle them daily to give them a good scrubbing. That comparison gave me some perspective.
- 867-5309 4y agothat subterranean aquarium under the football pitch?
- hef19898 4y agoHow many busses???
- janlaureys 4y agoAbout 146 assuming a bus weighs about 3.5 giraffes.
- tirpen 4y agoA bus typically weights around 20-40 tonnes depending on the model. So 25-50 busses.
- willyt 4y ago~7.5 tonnes for a bus that seats ~70 people, no? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AEC_Routemaster https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AEC_Routemaster
- lm28469 4y agoAbout 3 football fields
- ChrisRR 4y agoAmerican or normal?
- HeyLaughingBoy 4y ago32 or 64-bit?
- trompetenaccoun 4y agoIf we took 1000 tonnes of feathers, how many football pitches could be covered in them?
- dredmorbius 4y agoYou didn't specify to what depth, though: - With goose down having a density of 0.00286 g/cm^3.[1] - The area of a football pitch being roughly 0.714 hectares.[2] You could cover one football pitch to a depth of nearly 50 meters: You have: (1000 tonnes / (0.00286 g/cm^3)) / 0.714 hectare You want: m * 48.970637 / 0.0204204 (Using GNU Units.) If you spread the feathers to a depth of 1 cm, you'd get roughly 5,000x more coverage, or 5,000 football pitches. Give or take. ________________________________ Notes: 1.

- trompetenaccoun 4y ago>You could cover one football pitch to a depth of nearly 50 meters I feel like there's a physics joke in here, assuming weightless feathers piled on a football stadium in outer space ;)
- dredmorbius 4y agoSomething in that joke would of course have to be spherical. Then there's the prospect of a goose-down singularity. The ultimate soft-landing black hole.
- heavenlyblue 4y agoIt's a spherical football court, as is usual in space.
- oldgradstudent 4y agoStill can't intuitively grasp it. How many football fields is it?
- agapon 4y agoDepends on how deep you dig.
- thehappypm 4y agoHow many Rhode Islands?
- hulitu 4y agoIn EU we say 1000 tonnes, but i guess that this does not sound impressive enough for a newspaper.
