How much pressure does it take to break an egg?

It is not so much as how much pressure as where the pressure is applied. If you keep the egg upright and try to apply pressure at the top and bottom, the egg won't break as easily as much as when you apply it in the middle. The shape of the egg gives greater tensile strength to the ends but the middle is comparitively fragile.


Can an egg be forced into a bottle pushed by air pressure only?

Certainly! It is a common experiment. Take peeled hard boiled egg. Find a wide mouthed bottle that the egg can sit on without falling into it. A Frappicino bottle is about the right size. Take a piece of paper, about the size of the piece of toilet paper. Light it on fire and drop it into the bottle. As soon as the fire goes out, set the egg on the mouth. As the air inside cools, the egg will be pushed into the bottle by the air pressure.

How much does a egg weigh in g?

Does the shape of something affect its strength?

The shape of the egg is commonly ovoid. Spherical eggs has more chances of falling from the nest and are difficult to manage, when incubating the same. They might have disappeared during evolution. Ovoid or egg shaped structure is very difficult to brake from 'Outside'. Technically it is a dome shape, which can bear the high pressure, when applied from above. You can very easily brake the dome from 'Inside'. With very little pressure, you can brake the domes from 'inside'. The hatchling can brake the covering of the egg very easily from 'Inside', when it comes out of the egg.

If you had a fresh egg a hard boiled egg and a hollow egg with no hole in the end. Is there any difference in the stress's they could take?

The difference is that the hard boiled egg can take more pressure. The pressure inside of the egg is pushing outwards so that when you try to crush the egg the pressure is going against you.


Does the position of a chicken egg affect the amount of weight it can withstand?

Yes. Lying on its side it will break with very little pressure. That is why, when you break an egg, you always strike the side. Standing on end, an egg is much stronger.


How much pressure does it take to crack an egg?

An ostrich egg can be compressed quite a bit. A chicken egg, not so much. It also depends on whether you put the pressure on the long axis or across the shorter one. There are a lot of variables involved here. Just one would be the shell thickness of a pair of eggs that are identical in size.


Low pressure with an egg?

You put a flaming piece of paper in the bottom of a beaker and place the hard boiled, shelled egg on top and the pressure sucks it in


Why does smoke cause an egg to go into a bottle?

I don't think smoke would cause that. It is not clear what exactly the experimental setup is, but it is much more likely that the egg gets into the bottle through pressure differences.


How is drinking from a straw the same as an egg going into a glass bottle?

Drinking from a straw is the same as an egg going into a glass bottle, because air pressure in both cases is used to move something. In the straw, you reduce the air pressure in the straw, so the air pressure around the drink pushes it up into the straw and into your mouth. In the egg, you reduce the air pressure in the bottle, and air pressure around the egg pushes it down into the bottle.


What are the benefits of egg white?

Egg whites have a high protein content with low calorie and low fat content. Egg whites can also lower blood pressure about as much as a low dose of a high blood pressure drug. While the egg white may not look like it's packed full of nutrients, it does offer several benefits without a lot of calories. Recently I received some liquid egg whites from Egg Whites 24/7(eggwhites247.com).

Is it impossible to break an egg with one hand?

It is impossible, unless you do NOT apply pressure evenly, such as if you push your finger into the shell, you can. But if the egg is in your hand with pressure evenly distributed, it i impossible.
