Inverse Square Law Explosion

[Mr_Sugabz]

What is CA when i using Inverse Square Law?
is CA the cross-sectional area of the object affected by the blast, which in this case is the character affected by the blast?
If so, is the formula for calculating CA as stated in wikipedia:

???

You use 0.68 for CA generally. But you can also calc it if your character is above or below average height.

Ok

This is for the average person. Don't just use it in every case.

I think I made that clear but yeah don't use it in every case.

CA is the Cross-Sectional Area of a human being, usually 40-50% that of total human body surface area.

We usually use 0.68 m^2 for the average person, but use it only if you have no concrete height-and-weight listings for the person.

((0.007184 * (weight in kilograms)^0.425 * ((height in meters) * 100)^0.725) * 0.45)


With this formula you can calculate the cross-sectional area of a character, if you know their weight and height.

does it mean, the total after I calculate the Surface Area using the above formula, I should divide the result by 2. Right?

Is this different from the top one?

Just use a surface area calculator like this and save yourself the trouble.

No, it is the same, only here you have to put the height in meters and it already takes into account the percentage of the cross section 45% (40% to 50%)
