Hi all.
Just something thats been kicking around in the back of my mind. :idea:
Its about Violet. Was wondering, at the end of her expansion, how much juice would she contain and how heavy would she be. :?:
I'm not good at Maths, so if anyone else is, please let me know the answer.
Thanks in advance, V
Thanks for the response Notso..
16 tonnes for the new violet? surprised they moved her so easily! lol
its the bowling ball principle. very heavy to pick up and move around but once you get it rolling, its own weight keeps it moving, you just have to steer it.
Wow, that's quite heavy.
Though you never know how heavy that Wonka berry juice really is though.

Juice is mostly water, so it can't be significantly less dense than water. Of course, you never know when Wonka's involved. This is the guy who invented ice cream that violates the laws of thermodynamics.
And I like the story potential of a girl who fills up with water and then starts rolling uncontrollably. Kind of like floating away in terms of her losing control of her body, but with the additional factor of worrying about collateral damage.
Well, the volume of a sphere is: V = (4/3)Àr^3, and water weighs 62.4 lb/cu.ft. Assuming Violet in the 70s film was 5 feet tall, and she ballooned into a sphere of diameter equal to her height (she didn't seem to get any taller), she ended up with a volume of about 65.45 cubic feet, and, assuming her initial body mass had density roughly equal to water, she weighed about 4,084 lbs. Better hope they didn't have to roll her up any ramps.
In the more recent movie, she had to have been at least 10 feet tall at full size. This would give her a volume of 523.6 cubic feet, and we can probably ignore her initial body mass, because she would end up at about 32,673 lbs. or over 16 tons! I really don't see them getting her on that little plastic boat in that state. If they got up enough speed, they could probably just smash through any walls on the way to the juicing room, though.
