in metric tonnes
Answers:
Probably not as much as my ex mother in law!
A lot!
2014 Metric Tonnes. Now prove me wrong.
Sorry pal, I only know the answer in Imperial Ounces.
lol, it's virtually impossible to answer. There is an answer but trying to prove it would only give a theoretical calculated answer.
5 kilos
dunno. may be you should try weighing it and then let us know
Nothing. The hole planet is in constant free fall compared to the sun. By the way, Everest is the highest point compared to sea level but is not the tallest mountain.
You could approximate it as a simple cone or pyramid to at least get an estimate. The problem is, where do count the "bottom"?
The Base camp is at about 6000m, the summit at 8846m. If we take the mean bottom elevation as 5000m, and an average slope to summit of 50 degrees, an equivalent cone would have a volume of around 40 billion cubic metres. At typical density for limestone (that's what its made of) of 2.5 to 2.6 tonnes/m^3, we get about 100 to 110 billion tonnes.
A base elevation of 4000m yields about double that. A 5000m base and a slope of 45 degrees gives around 155 billion. I guess the best estimate is "over a hundred billion tonnes".
