In theory, a person could lie on a bed of nails indefinitely - the force of the body is distributed over the entire bed so there is no risk of injury from the nails. The limiting factors would be biological necessity (need to go to the bathroom, need for food/water, etc.) and the development of bed sores over several days.
A person can lie down on a bed of nails as the bed is large and the force is distributed evenly on the bed. Thus, making a much smaller pressure.
because they are strong! You don't have to be strong to lie on a bed of nails. The trick is a combination of pain control and physics. The pain control comes from the ability to ignore mild pain and the physics comes from the distance that the nails are spaced which evenly distributes the pressure of the weight put on them over a wide area which prevents the skin from being punctured. a bed of nails has lots of points that are close together -- there's a lot of surface area for the body to cover. Hundreds of nails support the weight of your body instead of just one. The resulting force is distributed over all of the nails, so you shouldn't be injured.
When lying on a bed of nails, the person's weight is distributed across multiple nails, reducing pressure on any single point. The nails are also blunt and closely spaced, so they disperse the force exerted by the body. This allows the person to distribute their weight evenly across the nails, minimizing the risk of injury.
An Indian fakir can lie on a bed of nails because the large number of nails distributes his weight evenly across their surfaces, reducing the pressure on any single point. This distribution prevents the nails from piercing his skin, as the force exerted on each nail is not enough to cause injury. Additionally, the fakir's training and mental focus may enhance his ability to endure discomfort, contributing to his impressive feat.
i will give u an example. if someone was really mean and then nobody was friends with that person and they got upset then you would say to them "you've made your bed so you must lie on it.
tell her its her bed
Yes, the sentence "Since you didn't take my advice you must make your own bed and lie in it" is logical. It means that because the person did not follow the advice given, they must take responsibility for the consequences of their actions.
bed
The present tense of "lie" (meaning to recline or rest) is spelled as “lie.” So, in the sentence "I'm going to lie in my bed," "lie" is the correct spelling for the present tense.
No! Its never ok to lie in a tanning bed. It will eventually give you skin cancer!
It is proper grammar to say "lie on the bed" when referring to resting on the bed in a horizontal position without an object. "Lay" requires a direct object, so you would say "lay the book on the bed" when placing something on the bed.
