Oh, dude, breaking eggs is serious business! So, like, the pressure needed to break an egg is around 25 pounds per square inch. But hey, if you're having trouble cracking an egg, maybe switch to scrambled instead of sunny side up, you know what I mean?

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 pressure is in an egg?

Eggs have an internal pressure of approximately 6-8 pounds per square inch (psi) at room temperature. This pressure is exerted by the fluids and gases inside the egg, helping to keep its shape intact.


How much force does it take to brake an egg?

It takes very little force to break an egg, typically about 5 pounds or 25 newtons of force. The eggshell is relatively fragile and can be easily broken with a gentle squeeze or tapping.


How can you control the force that cause the egg to break?

To control the force that causes an egg to break, you can manipulate the factors that contribute to force, such as impact velocity and surface area of contact. By decreasing the impact velocity or increasing the surface area of contact, you can reduce the force exerted on the egg and decrease the likelihood of it breaking. Additionally, you can also introduce protective measures, such as cushioning materials or a supportive structure, to absorb and distribute the force more evenly, thus protecting the egg from breaking.


What do you to break first before you can use it?

An egg.

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.

Breaking an egg is a physical change not a chemical one.


What takes 7 lbs of pressure to break?

An egg typically requires about 7 lbs of pressure to break. The curved shape of an egg helps distribute pressure evenly, making it stronger than expected.


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.


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.


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.


Why an egg is a safe place for a developing baby animal?

the shape of the egg means that if you put pressure on the top it can not break.

Why the hen's egg does not break when elephant stamps on it?

The shape and structure of an egg are designed to distribute force evenly across the shell. The rounded shape of an egg helps to disperse the impact energy, preventing it from cracking or breaking easily. Additionally, the shell of an egg is made up of calcium carbonate crystals, providing strength and resilience against external pressure, such as an elephant's foot.


How can the egg do not break if it is drop?

How fragile is an egg?

If you apply pressure holding it upright with your palms on the top and bottom its nearly unbreakable but if you put pressure anywhere else it will break easilyA cooking Egg is extremely fragile,The bird egg is also extremely fragile. If you drop them from a high place; or may be not even high at all; they will most likely, break.


How muck weight can an egg take before it will break?

Couldn't tell you but they can be put under a great amount of pressure their very strong like teeth if pressed on tops and bottoms not sides.
