Ice does not always freeze evenly and therefore could be four inches in one spot and only two inches in another. The general rule is if it is three inches or less, you should keep off of it.
8 - 12 inches of clear blue ice is enough to support the weight of a car.
The weight that 12 inches of ice can support depends on various factors, including the type of ice and any potential imperfections. Generally, solid, clear ice can support about 50 pounds per square foot for every inch of thickness. Therefore, 12 inches of good quality ice can hold approximately 600 pounds per square foot. However, it's essential to exercise caution as conditions can vary significantly.
On average, 16 inches of ice can typically support the weight of a person or around 250 pounds per square foot. However, this can vary depending on factors such as the temperature, quality of the ice, and external conditions. It is always important to exercise caution and check with local authorities before venturing onto frozen bodies of water.
That depends on the thickness of the ice. It also depends on the shape of the outline of the 1 square foot. For example ... a square with 1-ft sides can certainly support more weight than a rectangle that's 1-inch wide and 144-inches long.
The volume of the block of ice is 2ft * 2ft * 2ft or 8 ft3. The equivalent weight of 8 cubic feet of water is 8ft3 * 62.5 lb/ft3 or 500 lbs. To find the weight of ice take 92% of the equivalent weight of water or 0.92 * 500 lbs = 460 lbs
The weight needed to break ice depends on its thickness and strength. Generally, a person walking on ice may require about 1 inch of ice to support their weight, while a vehicle may need at least 7 inches. Smaller weights like a bird or squirrel may only need a thin layer of ice to break through.
Walking on 3 inches of ice is generally not safe. Ice needs to be at least 4 inches thick to support the weight of a person. It is important to always check the thickness of the ice before walking on it to ensure safety.
Water's weight, when frozen into ice stays the same, but the density of water is much higher than ice's, since Ice has the same weight and contents of Water, but takes up significantly more space.
1 cubic yard of ice has a weight of 49421 pound-force.
For safety, ice should be at least 4 inches thick for a single person to walk on, and at least 5 inches thick for a small group or activity like ice fishing. For 1000 pounds, the ice would need to be much thicker, likely around 8-12 inches or more to ensure it can support the weight without breaking. It's always best to check with local authorities or experts on ice thickness recommendations for specific activities.
I believe its 5-9 inches.
That's kind of not how it works. You can't lose weight by "eating ice all day."
