How to read the visual
The diagram uses the recorded measurements. Details outside the marked spans do not set the scale.
- We use 30.42 kg for the trunk mass in a 70 kg model of the human torso; the recorded range is 25 kg–36 kg.
- The trunk mass in a 70 kg model of the human torso: This is a representative comparison value; individual specimens or conditions can vary.
- The recorded ranges overlap, so the ordering can vary even though the central values differ.
Mass is distinct from weight: an object’s mass stays the same as gravity changes.
