RL Animals Calc Thread

Okay, I can see a lot of eye rolls for the subject, but let's be honest here, frankly, this will be one of the most useful series of calcs I'll ever make.

## Water Pressure:

With 71% of the entire earth covered in water, all living beings have adapted to it's existence. Most commonly, it's by swimming, and some have become quite proficient in it, becoming capable of diving to great depths. And since water pressure is something they have to deal with, lest they get crushed under it, it should be an easy way for use to get some estimates on their durability.

Will be using this calc method:

#### Blue Whale:

The biggest animal known, they can dive up to 500 m.

Using a Hydrostatic Pressure Calculator, with sea water and this depth...

*5112523 Pa*

*"The density of blubber is 900 kg/m^3, the density of muscle is 1060 kg/m^3, the density of viscera is about 920 kg/m^3, and the density of bone is 1,856 kg/m^3. This means we can find the rough volume of the 90,000 kg whale:*

*Blubber: 27%\*90,000/900=27 m^3*

*Muscle: 39%\*90,000/1,060=33.11 m^3*

*Viscera:12%\*90,000/920=11.74 m^3*

*Bone: 17%\*90,000/1,856=8.24 m^3*

*Blood (estimated): 5%\*90,000/1,057=4.26 m^3*

*Total Volume without lungs=84.35 m^3*

*The mean lung capacity is estimated to be 2.5% of mass for blue whales according to Lockyer (1981). Which would add another 2.25 m^3 to the volume, for a total volume of 86.6 m ^3 (average density=1,039 kg/m^3)."*
