On top of that, you're not even comparing the same body weight.

For instance, Adriano who was measured in a straight line and weighed 130kg was 152cm in head and body. 
That is 10cm shorter in length than the Sumatran Tiger average and 12kg's heavier. 
Crawshaw also measured another in a straight line that was 122kg and it was less than 151cm in length.

So as you can see, Jaguars are going to be shorter in length and shoulder height but they pack more mass. They are the more dense animal overall. 

This has nothing to do with cherry picking, these animals are measured and presented. Feel free to present any and all Sumatran Tigers that are comparable. Again it has nothing to do with isometric scaling, you have true numbers right in front of you.


And what does it matter? Averages use outliers and runts, they are just a number we like to use but have nothing to do with the actual cats on an individual basis. But generally speaking, a Jaguar will be shorter in length and shoulder than a Sumatran Tiger but will still be comparable in weight. Obviously exceptions exist for either side, but more often if you take 130kg specimens from either, that's how it's going to play out.

Proportional to what?
Sumatrans generally are longer in body at similar weights.


They are all part of the average, you using a single Llanos jaguar holds as much weight as a single 120kg individual. On average, Pantanal Jaguars are going to be 108kg and shorter in length and shoulder height. Unfortunately Sumatrans body weight averages and measurements are much harder to come by. 
But generally speaking using Gautes table, they average 117kg and 162cm in body length. And assuming the longest on his table was the heaviest *which it may not be* it was only 140kg and 177cm long while Joker was 165cm the first capture then 179cm over the curves which really would be around 170cm in a straight line and weighed over 140kgs both times. 
Another Sumatran Tiger from a  hunting record was 180cm over the curves and weighed 142kgs.
So this paints a pretty clear picture, like what I've been saying. Jaguars generally will weigh more at similar lengths and shorter shoulder heights. 
Jaguar shoulder height in the pantanal averages around 26.28 inches while Sumatrans generally are around 30'' at the shoulder *limited data exists though*
Long story short, you can compare both are equal lengths and the Jaguar generally will be a little heavier. 
Next I'll see what I can get for skulls
WRONG! Everything you said is completely WRONG. I already made it clear above that I am comparing the AVERAGE Sumatran to the AVERAGE Jaguar.

But you are comparing a BULKIER than average Jaguar to the average Tiger so your comparison is nonsensical in itself.

And don’t you understand isometric scaling, do you? Rather than using a 120kg, bulkier than average Jaguar specimen, I isometrically scaled THE AVERAGE Jaguar to 120kg. Do you understand that?

You obviously are unable to comprehend the concept of isometric scaling so there is no point in arguing further.

Even Bengal Tigers can reach 280kg and American Lions also were often 280kg but American Lion would be LONGER at that weight, does that mean Bengal Tigers are more robust? No!! Not at all because Ngandong Tigers were still longer in length than American Lions.

I’m sorry I don’t mean to be offensive but you don’t seem to able to understand even simple physics.

Okay answer this question. How will you compare the average male Jaguar with an average male BENGAL Tiger in terms of ‘pound for pound’? Jaguars don’t even reach the 210-220kg weight so you tell me how you will make this comparison.

I would recommend you to check out Christiansen and Harris weight estimation studies, that might give you an idea about how isometric scaling works.

There is nothing to debate, you have the actual weights and measurements presented. 


And once again, Isometric scaling is used to estimate, it's not exact while you have actual weights and measurements that are exact. 
You scaling the average Jaguar which you don't even know what average is, it sounds like to 120kgs is far less valid than using actual 120kg Jaguars. 

Your claim about Tigers and Lions makes no sense. 

Funny you mention Christiansen, he literally says the same about jaguars compared to other cats. 

Quote:Okay answer this question. How will you compare the average male Jaguar with an average male BENGAL Tiger in terms of ‘pound for pound’? Jaguars don’t even reach the 210-220kg weight so you tell me how you will make this comparison.

Generally speaking, Allometric scalling would be better.
https://www.ableweb.org/biologylabs/wp-c...colton.pdf

But this isn't needed, once again we have a Tiger and Jaguar that already exist in comparable weights. 
You need to let go of this stance, you have verifiable data shown, it doesn't get more exact than that.

No! A big 220kg HYPOTHETICAL Jaguar would be similar in proportions to a small Jaguar which means its a case of isometric scaling NOT allometric which would only be done when the large animal is completely different in proportions compared to the small animal.

Your comparison is totally pointless because you are comparing a bulkier, extra muscular Jaguar to the average Sumatran Tiger which is not the correct way to make such comparisons.

And it doesn’t matter, I still stand by my initial point. I’m sure the Sumatran tiger still has a stronger bite than those Jaguars but you don’t understand even simple physics.

Now you tell me, how will you compare the Jaguar to a South African Lion in terms of ‘pound for pound’. Answer this question now. You don’t have a Sumatran like Lion, do you? How will you compare these two in pound for pound then.
What are you not understanding here?
Two Jaguars can weigh the same and still have completely different body measurements. Those proportions would be very different depending on the individual.

And what do you want to compare in regards to the Lion and Jaguar?
lb for lb what?

lb for lb bite force. Please compare lb for lb bite force for a Jaguar and a Bengal Tiger. Show me how much bite force will a Jaguar have in comparison to a Bengal Tiger if Jaguars are scaled to the same weight as Bengal Tigers.

Please show me the calculation and steps here while you do it and let’s see what the result comes out to be.

Again there is no way to calculate this with accuracy. 
There are morphological differences that contribute to a bite force, then interpreting those differences isn't even universally accepted.
For instance,
-The shape of the mandible. 
-The muscle attachment opening for the Masseters and temporalis. 
-The shape and size of the Sagital Crest
-Canine bending strength and size
-Gape 
and so on

If you want to use a simple equation it should be head size in relation to body size.
But again, you will have some Cats that are longer skulls while others are wider, but in terms of bite strength, the width should play a larger role than the length.

Come on! What are you talking about? We can simply scale the same Jaguar to 200kg by keeping all its body proportions and morphology intact.

It is very simple, the Jaguar will scale by 2 times and the bite force will only increase by around 1.77 times.

What are you talking about? We don’t need to calculate any of that. All of it has already been calculated by that same bite force study so what will you calculate? The force and weight ratio has ALREADY been calculated by that study. All we need to do is scale the weight to 2 times and when that happens the bite force would still be 12% weaker.

We are just talking about a hypothetical pound for pound scenario which means the same Jaguar from that study when scaled to twice the size, it’s bite force will only increase by 1.777 times. This is the simplest possible physics.

And please don’t say that actual animals aren’t used to estimate bite forces and all that.

In the end, the simple thing is that particular study said a 100kg Jaguar bites with 3/4 the force of a 200kg Tiger. Now we are comparing the exact same things pound for pound and in such a case you simply scale the exact same Jaguar morphology to 200kg and then the bite force would still be 12% weaker than the Tiger’s bite force.

It’s as simple as that. That is simple ‘pound for pound’ comparison. In pound for pound comparisons, the muscular cross section (and the force) would only scale with an exponent of 2 while the weight will scale with an exponent of 3. It’s as simple as that.

This will cause the bite force to lag behind and thus the Tiger would still have a stronger bite.

It's literally going in circles with you

The bite force is calculated off an estimated body weight.  Added to that, these skulls came from captive cats only " We dissected the masticatory muscles of nine species of felids (Table 1), represented by a total of 28 specimens. All but two of the specimens were from Carolina Tiger Rescue (CTR; formerly the Carnivore Preservation Trust)"
Using a weight of 100kg for this particular Jaguar is meaningless, that's not a real 100kg Jaguar from the Pantanal or a 200kg Tiger from India. Their skull morphology is very different to their wild counterparts. 


Also, it's not just "lb for lb" 
There are numerous factors going into their scaling 

"One alternative is to scale masticatory variables to a functionally meaningful anatomical measurement. Mandible length is often used as a scaling variable because it is a rough proxy for the load arm of an anterior bite (Hylander, 1979; Daegling, 2001; Vinyard et al., 2003; Vinyard and Hanna, 2005). If posterior bites are of greater interest, then the distance between the mandibular condyle and a molar could be used (Taylor et al., 2012). Instead of scaling to these variables, we have explicitly included them in the estimate of BF by measuring different hypothetical load arms at different bite points. This allows us to examine BF as a single variable and consider its scaling in relation to body size.

To sidestep the problems of periodic body mass fluctuations, we also use (e.g., in Perry, 2008; Perry and Hartstone-Rose, 2011; Perry et al., 2011) a cranial geometric mean as a proxy for overall body size. BM, JL and GM all yield very similar (statistically indistinguishable) regression results across all of the taxa that we have studied, though this is especially true for the morphologically homogenous Felidae."

"Our results demonstrate that masticatory muscle masses scale isometrically tending toward positive allometry when regressed against body mass and jaw length. The slope is statistically greater than one for all muscles (except the highly variable medial pterygoid) when regressed against a geometric mean of cranial variables. PCSA, and BF scale with significant positive allometry for all three scaling variables. This significance is driven by the exceptionally high correlations of these variables with all three independent variables in this morphologically conservative lineage. Scaling of FL tends towards negative allometry, but there is great scatter in the data and isometry cannot be ruled out statistically. However, FL is slightly less well-correlated with body size, resulting in higher absolute residuals, suggesting the potential for a dietary signal. Indeed a strong signal suggests a relationship between FL and relative prey size. Thus, in the family Felidae, where food material properties vary little, food geometric properties appear to select for muscle architectural properties. In at least one instance (the jaguar), estimated BF appears to signal food material properties—namely this species is capable of consuming more obdurate foods."

You are making it exceedingly complex even though it’s the simplest possible thing. When we compare the bite force pound for pound, we do it the way I described. That’s it.

But you aren’t able to understand simple physics so I can’t tell you anything else.

Why don’t you simply show your calculation right here? I already did the simple calculation and showed you that the Tiger would still have a 12% stronger bite even at equal weights.

Do you have any calculations of your own? If you do then show me your calculation right here. Show me what the bite force of the Jaguar would be at 200kg bodyweight. But if you don’t have any of that to show then this argument is pointless.

This is the simplest physics but you don’t seem to be able to comprehend this.

It has nothing to do with understanding, you're cutting corners to try and save face. You are disregarding real factors that came into play in determining the bite force.
It's literally providing you the multiple processes used in making that conclusion. 
It's using real jaw muscle weights obtained against an estimated body mass on top of that, it's bringing into account bone formation and muscle distribution. All of which would need to be allometrically scaled.  

You are simply just using a calculation to say "what if the jaguar was double the size" but it's absolutely clear that's not the only factor used to determine it's biteforce. 

On top of that, you have real measurements from comparable animals not in captivity and have been explained the actual differences in their morphology. The fact that you don't seem to acknowledge this or understand it makes the rest this debate pointless.

Brother, your logic about scaling the bite force of jaguar and tiger isnt right. The jaguar has the upper hand when both are scaled to the same size.

Actually you are right. The calculation was wrong. I guess my mind was somewhere else at that time, rather than doing a square root, I did a square and rather than doing a cube root of the mass I kept it the same. Never mind.

Now, @Pckts Here is the correct calculation this time of how much would a Jaguar’s bite force be in comparison to the Tiger if both are scaled to same size (allometric variations are not taken in count here)

200kg /100kg = 2
Now we must do a cube root of 2 and we get 1.2599 (Lets call this number the Tiger’s bodymass score in relation to Jaguar)

Now, 1000/750 = 1.333
Now we must do a square root of this and we will get 1.1547 (let’s call this one the Tiger’s bite force score)

Now these two ‘scores’ can be compared linearly so...

1.1547/1.2599 = .9165
.9165 x 100 = 91.65

This means that when scaled to the same size, the bite force of the Tiger would still be only 91.65 % that of the Jaguar (without any allometric variations)

Which means that when scaled to the same size as a Bengal Tiger, the Jaguar would have an 8.3% stronger bite (as long as the given bodymass in that study is correct with its respective bite force)

Yeah, I appreciate that you made corrections. But that wasnt the exact mistake. Even your previous method favoured jaguar. Let me explain that mistake you did in the previous calculation. And also, the method you used now isnt right, and I will be explaining it here. Hope you read the full reply and try to understand.


The major fault which turned the actual result of your previous calculation upside-down was this:
 
While you started by squaring 4/3, the 4/3 is the tiger’s bite when looking at it from the jaguar’s perspective.
i.e., j = ¾ t (as said in the research by Adam Hartstone-Rose and c.o.)
à 4/3 j = t
Let the above ‘j’ and ‘t’ represent the bite force of jaguars and tigers at their natural weight. So this is how you are proceeding with the 4/3. Now, you square it as a function of surface area and bring it to half, and then make it in percentage.
 
[([(4/3)^2]/2)*100] = 88.88888888888887%
 
Exactly as you got in your calculation. Everything is right.
But, you said that the jaguar is having only 88% bite force of tiger. But the logic is the other way round. Your calculation says that the tiger has only 88% bite of the jaguar at equal size, and does not say about the jaguar having 88% of bite force of tiger.
Check the logic behind the equation once again by yourself and you will get it.
Whatever you calculated, it was a function of ‘t’. It was the value of tiger with reference to jaguar, not that of jaguar with reference to the tiger, like you have previously assumed.
Thus, your equation proves that the jaguar still has 11% (11.11111111111113%) higher bite force than the tiger at same size, taking jaguar as a benchmark reference. Another point of view is that the jaguar has 12.5% higher bite force than the tiger at same size, taking tiger as a benchmark reference.
Your equation says that the jaguar still has a higher bite force at same size. It was because of a small misunderstanding that you made this mistake. Everyone is bound to make mistakes, right? It’s a human thing. And I appreciate your genuinity to recalculate and share it here. Thanks.

To sum up your differences of interpretation, just a mathematic aspect:

X + 0,125X = X + X/8 = 9/8X = Y

Y - Y/9 = 8Y/9 = X

No, actually that calculation wasn’t even correct in the first place. You are saying that I got it the other way around but that’s not the case.

The 4/3 thing was actually correct, the only thing that was wrong was that rather than doing a square root of the ratio of Tiger’s force to Jaguar’s force, I did a square of it. And rather than doing a cube root of the Tiger’s mass to Jaguar’s mass, I kept it the same. That was the mistake in it.

Now here, I’m doing it the right way. I AM calculating the ratio of the Tiger’s bite force score to the Jaguar’s bite force score and the Tiger’s bodymass score in relation to Jaguar’s bodymass score. That’s not a mistake, I did that on purpose.

In short, please ignore the first one about the first calculation of 12.5% as that was not correct.


The second one right here is the correct one so use that. And the 4/3 thing isn’t a mistake, that has been done on purpose and that is all fine. You can calculate the Tiger in relation to the Jaguar or the Jaguar in relation to the Tiger, it makes no difference.

As @Spalea explained, I calculated the Tiger in relation to the Jaguar while you’ll calculate the Jaguar in relation to the Tiger, both are correct, it’s just a difference of interpretation.

I know that the equation was wrong. But I tried to point out the mistake you did inside that equation. Ig you didnt get what I said. I would explain it again. If you look at the calculation I did using your old method, I calculated in both the perspectives and got two different values. That was not the point there. If you take a look at it again, I have explained your mistake in it clearly. The point was that you took the multiplying factor being a function of 't'. This means that you calculated the value of tiger, and not the jaguar's. I didnt say that the 4/3 is a mistake. I have clearly explained it in there. Think you didnt properly read it. Requesting to go through it once again. Thus, in your old equation, the reality was that the tiger was scoring less to the jaguar being only 88% the bite to that of the jaguar. It was the mistake you did in determining whose value you derived. Hope you get it. I will post the same thing here once again, and hope you read it and understand what I said.

While you started by squaring 4/3, the 4/3 is the tiger’s bite when looking at it from the jaguar’s perspective. (not saying that the 4/3 is wrong)
i.e., j = ¾ t (as said in the research by Adam Hartstone-Rose and c.o.)
à 4/3 j = t
Let the above ‘j’ and ‘t’ represent the bite force of jaguars and tigers at their natural weight. So this is how you are proceeding with the 4/3. Its absolutely ok. Now, you square it as a function of surface area and bring it to half, and then make it in percentage.

Now, note the point here. The equation says that the tiger is 4/3 times the jaguar. So, the result you calculate with 4/3 is the tiger's measure. Not the jaguar's one!
 
[([(4/3)^2]/2)*100] = 88.88888888888887%
 
Exactly as you got in your calculation. Everything is right.
But, you said that the jaguar is having only 88% bite force of tiger. But the logic is the other way round. Your calculation says that the tiger has only 88% bite of the jaguar at equal size, and does not say about the jaguar having 88% of bite force of tiger. This was since you mistook the 4/3 to be function of jaguar, but in reality which was a function of tiger.
Check the logic behind the equation once again by yourself and you will get it.
Whatever you calculated, it was a function of ‘t’. Whatever you calculated, it was for jaguar, not the tiger.
Thus, your equation proves that the jaguar still has 11% (11.11111111111113%) higher bite force than the tiger at same size, taking jaguar as a benchmark reference. Another point of view is that the jaguar has 12.5% higher bite force than the tiger at same size, taking tiger as a benchmark reference. (I have took result from both the perspective and none of em says of jaguar being only 88% of tiger, but says the other way round.)
Your equation says that the jaguar still has a higher bite force at same size. Hope you could get it now.

And also, your latest method isnt proper for your kind information. I will be explaining the problem with your latest method in the next post in much detail.

@LonePredator 


(Reposting the post since the post I posted wasnt containing the image files that I tried to upload. Will be deleting the old post once this one makes appearance in the forum.)


Now, the issue with your latest method.
 
The method by itself, even if hypothetical, is not correct.
 
The cross-sectional surface area doesn’t increase with the power of 2 or 1/2 if the volume is by the "cube" or cube root (obviously), even if the composition/ density and everything is the same.
We are talking about 3-dimensional, biological structures here. The surface area isn’t directly affected due to the scaling in a linear way, as of the power of 2. Let me explain you why. 
By scaling the size of the tissue, we scale the whole volume of that tissue such that the surface area also increases naturally in accordance with the volume (not in a linear rate). Its not with the length/ surface area of the tissue alone. This is how its done. The tissue isnt absolutely 2-dimentional to calculate it with square alone. It even has got the volume which affects the size of it. You dont always get the same trend of variance in surface area while the weight is increased in a particular rate, right? The same logic.

   

The above is a graphical representation of the same logic. The cube A is 1 unit long on each side, and the cube B is having the dimensions of 2, 2, and 0.25 units. You could realise that the volume of both the cube and cuboid is the same, but has a different surface area. Surface area is about 1.6 times that of cube A, while the difference in volume is about 2 times. This is not the point I am trying to say though. Read completely and try understanding the point.
As a second scenario, let the cube B have the dimensions of 2, 2, 0.5 units. You get the cuboid with double the volume and double the surface area of cube A at natural sizes.Though, here the ratio of the difference between the volume and the surface area of the two structures is 0.2599 times when scaled isometrically scaled down to the volume of cube A.
Again, given the third scenario be the cube B have the dimensions of 2,2, 0.75 units. Then, you get the cuboid with triple the volume and 2.3 times the surface area of cube A at natural size. Though, here the ratio of the difference between the volume and the surface area of the two structures is 0.1217 times when scaled isometrically scaled down to the volume of cube A.  This is tabulated till volume of B = 5, with an increment in one of the dimension with a rate of 0.25 square units. The scenarios are tabulated below.



Now, scaling with allometry isn’t significant here since the jaguar isn’t going to grow to the size of the tiger or vice versa. We just are trying to see the power-to-weight ratio which determines the ease of a body to do some work. The isometric method is highly significant for calculating the ease of locomotion in biological organisms or machines, though not that significant in bite force since it ultimately is the ability to crush, and not to move with weight as a parameter. Although, since the jaguar and the tiger stay in its weight, we are calculating the power-weight ratio for the above reason. This is the only way we can compare in real life, and is sensible, and this is the very reason to compare. It’s the measure of “ease”. This is what is called pound-for-pound measure in short.

   

If you could notice in the above table, by linearly increasing the volume of the cuboid B by one cubic unit each time (doubling, tripling, etc..), the rate of change in the surface area in accordance with the volume is not linear. This means that the difference in surface area after scaling both the structures each time to the same size isometrically doesn’t change in a linear way. For more clarity, there is the graphical representation given below.


   


In the graph, you can see that the volume- Δ Surface area curve (after isometrically adjusting to equal volume) isn’t linear first of all, and isn’t having the same slope at every point. This says that the relation isn’t linear to directly scale it always by squaring or applying inverse square, at any given random point.

Here, we did it for perfect basic geometrical shape, and even then the change wasn’t linear. Then how could your method be applied to a complex biological structure in which nothing is linear by itself? We shouldn’t!





Okay, now let me check if your method goes in par with the derived values if we apply it in the same structures.
Let us now assume that the density of both the materials are the same and consistent like you assumed and has equal weights at each cubic unit volume, and the surface area as the force since you took the function of bite force as a direct variable of surface area (that’s the reason you took the square root). Now, applying your method.
Your method is as follows:
 
Since cuboid B is 3 times heavier than cube A, 3/1 = 3
(3)^1/2 = 1.44224957031 (Cuboid B’s mass score in relation to cube A )
 
14/6 = 2.333333333333333 (3 c.u. unit volume cuboid B and 1 c.u. unit volume cube A in the table)
(14/6)^1/3 = 1.52752523165 (Cuboid B’s surface area score with relation to cube A )
Now, as per the logic you said in your method, the result must be as follows:
(1.44224957031/ 1.52752523165) *100 = 94.41739752816475%

The above result says that the cuboid B is having only 94% of the surface area of the cube A when cuboid B with thrice the volume is isometrically scaled to the volume of A, which is absolutely wrong. The cuboid B is having larger surface area if isometrically scaled. Then how come you get a value which says of cuboid B having less surface area than cube A? (Actual value = 112%). You don’t get a cuboid with thrice the volume of cube A and 94% surface area of cube A, even if you vary the dimensions in any ways isometrically. There is no other cuboid with the same volume and surface area as of cuboid B, varying the dimensions with infinity many combinations isometrically. By this simple test, we can infer that the method by itself is wrong.

 
Thus, you cant scale a jaguar’s and the tiger’s bites to same weight with squaring or taking the square root and dividing by the inverse of ratio of difference between the weights. The method isn’t correct. The difference in ratio is itself because of the difference in composition. Then how can you hypothesise them being of the same composition? The hypothesis is itself biased towards tiger while you say them to be of similar composition. Even if you take such an hypothesis, the method is wrong. Hope you get it.
 
As a revision, to put it in simple terms, the surface area doesn’t vary with the power of 2 or 1/2, but with something less than 2 (ideally something between 1 and 2) since there is the volume (in addition, variable density as an unpredictable factor) too taking up the share positively in the size increase. Hope you get it.

@LonePredator  

OMG! Brother, my intention was simple and clear. I dont get why would you not understand the simple point even after trying my best to make you understand the same thing multiple times.


(04-28-2022, 01:52 PM)LonePredator Wrote: Now, 4/3= 1.3333 and when it is squared, that will give you 1.333^2 = 1.7777

1.777/2=0.88. Which means even at same mass, the Jaguar would still have only 88% of the bite force of a Tiger.

At equal weights, the Tiger would have a 12% stronger bite than the Jaguar.


1. Now, look at what you did. Yeah, I am saying about your old method. I am saying about the misinterpretation you did.
4/3 is absolutely allright! I didnt say anything against that. Please understand!
Now, how exactly did you get 4/3? This is how you got:

tiger bite force * 3/4= jaguar bite force ,

In the next step, tiger bite force = 4/3* jaguar bite force.
This is how you got the 4/3

What is this 4/3 in actual? It is the function of tiger. You would get the value of tiger, not that of jaguars while you use 4/3. To get the value of jaguar, you must use 3/4 since it is the function of jaguar. You interchanged the function. You applied the tigers function in the equation to get the jaguars value. How can this be done? You get the tigers value if you apply the tigers function, which is the 4/3.
After calculating with 4/3, the sentence you made was this:
" Which means even at same mass, the Jaguar would still have only 88% of the bite force of a Tiger"
But, since you calculated with the tiger's function, the 4/3, you must have written as below:
" Which means even at same mass, the Tiger would still have only 88% of the bite force of a Jaguar"
Else, to use your same sentence, you must have calculated with the function of jaguar, the 3/4 and showuld have made necessary changes you get by doing the calculation with 3/4.

This is the mistake I am trying to convey to you from the beginning. Hope you got it atleast by now!

Now, look at what you wrote in your post recently, below!
(05-15-2022, 12:20 PM)LonePredator Wrote: I calculated the RELATIVE value of the Tiger’s bite to the Jaguar’s bite ON PURPOSE


Exactly! You calculated the relative value of the tiger's bite to the jaguar's bite. Now, you yourself are saying so, while you said it was the relative value of jaguar to that of tiger in your old post. The sentences in both of your posts are contradicting each other. Hoping that atleast by now you get the mistake that I am trying to point out.





(05-15-2022, 12:20 PM)LonePredator Wrote: And the next thing, you claimed linear scaling. WHEN did I say I was doing linear scaling? I’m NOT scaling the Jaguar to the same LENGTH as the Tiger, I’m scaling the Jaguar to the same MASS as the Tiger and mass is NOT linear in relation to length, mass is cubic since it’s directly proportional to the three dimensional volume (but you are assuming a linear relation for some reason and I don’t know why)

2. Awesome! Where exactly did I do the lienar sacling? Or where did I do something relative to scaling the Jaguar to the same LENGTH as the Tiger? My friend, I scaled everything based on the volume. i.e., mass. Did I scale anything in relation to its length? None of the scaling was relative to the length, but was to the volume/mass. I write it down in the simplest way possible and I dont get how you arent able to perceive things in the way it is said.





(05-15-2022, 12:20 PM)LonePredator Wrote: And your talk about a complex 3d shape. No! It doesn’t matter because when you scale up a Jaguar the Jaguar would still have the same shape. A cube scaled to a different size will still be a cube while a Jaguar scaled would still be a Jaguar and still have the same proportions as before (only hypothetically of course as every individual Jaguar has different proportions)

3. The above one confirms that you didnt understand anything. Yes, its true that the jaguar scaled up or down will have no difference in the composition. But are you sure about the composition of the tiger? So you think that the composition, structural dimentions, and everything are same between the jaguar and tiger. You scale the surface area and body mass alone to the equal, and you dont bother about making the composition the same. Is this even right? It cant be done that way since the composition (muscle mass/ density) of the tiger is different to that of the jaguars'. You cant equate the mass surface area alone and assume the composition too to be equalised. There are a dozen of parametres apart from body mass and surface area to consider in the equation. No, you didnt get what I mean even this time and you are gonna come again saying the same. Brother, please take some time and think on it. 

I said about the complexities which will arise when comparing two different structures of different compositions and ratios. This was the reason I took the cube and cuboid to signify the difference in the compsition in the first place.





(05-15-2022, 12:20 PM)LonePredator Wrote: And it’s VERY OBVIOUS that a graph of a cubic value against a linear value will NOT produce a straight slope, that’s pretty obvious and everybody already knows that. That’s not really some new knowledge. Why did you assume that I was assuming a linear relation between surface area and volume/mass (which I never did)?

4. Agin?! Linear value? What is this linear value? Its a 2-dimentional value, the surface area. You did the same. You took the surface area and the mass. Even I took the surface area and the volume as mass since mass is a direct the consequence of volume and density. And in this case, this goes right in gell with your hypothesis of both the objects being of the same densities. Just the exact same relation.
If you are saying about differentiating the values, then I did it to show the unpredictability of the change in surface area to change in volume/ mass/ density. I differed the volume/ mass of the cuboid and showed the differential value, not the difference. The diffrerence isnt the point here. You cant form a universal equation which differentiates the mass-surface area relation between any object. You may be able to do it for a specific object, not for any and every object, just like the case with the jaguar and the tiger.





(05-15-2022, 12:47 PM)LonePredator Wrote: And THIS IS IMPORTANT. Your comparison between the cube and cuboid of equal volume proves that you do not understand the difference between ‘equal to’ and ‘proportional to’. Do you understand the difference between proportional and equal?

5. This in turn proves that you think that the jaguar and tigers are having the muscles with same proportions/ densities. This was the very sole reason for me to take the cube and the cuboid, my friend! I very well do understand the difference between 'equal' and 'proportional'. The whole point of my comparison was to say that you dont get anything with such an equation while the objects in comparison are of two different dimentions/ proportions/ densities. This is similar to that in s.no.3.





(05-15-2022, 12:47 PM)LonePredator Wrote: Next, you are also for some reason assuming that the ratio of growth in volume and ratio in growth of surface area should be same as per my method BUT IT IS NOT AND I NEVER SAID IT IS.

6. Oh my god! Is that what you could understand? I am fearing that all my effort is going in vain since what you are perceiving is not even in the first degree of what I meant to say. We can talk only to people who can understand things in the way its is, right? I am giving you a totally different thing, and what you reply to me with is completely out of the cosmos. 

The gorwth of surface area and volume was to convey to you that they are unpredictable. That is, we cant find the surface area of an object if the volume is given for the other, and vice versa, if the proportions of the two object arent the same. You cant make a univerasl equation which is compliant for relation between all the various structures. I have to repat the same thing again and again.





(05-15-2022, 12:47 PM)LonePredator Wrote: You first need to understand that mass varies cubically with one dimensional values while surface area varies squarely with one dimensional values. That is basic level physics.

And it’s not me who’s claiming this, Galileo has claimed this. So are you trying to rectify Galileo’s law which is still used to this day? This is basic square cube law by Galileo, please read about it.

7. This is where the root of your mistake is. Where does the square-cube realtion apply? Does it apply on two objects with different proportions? Asking since you equated both of the objects with same mass and same proportions while they were both not. This is why I took a cube and cuboid to represent the difference. And I did scale it isometrically so that both the cube and cuboid had the same volume (mass), like we would like to scale the tiger down to the same mass without changing the individual proportions. The whole point of doing that was not for abiding by your equation, but was to point out the basic mistake there. 

Do you know something? While you assume both the tiger and jaguar have the same proportions and compositions of muscles, you defeat the whole purpose of the comparison. If that was the case, then both would proportionally have the same bite. Then why the comparison at the first place? The variance in the bite if scaled proportionally is itself because of the difference in proportions, dimentiaons, and the densities. 
Why would you even scale if you know that the composition, dimensions and everything are the same? 





(05-15-2022, 12:47 PM)LonePredator Wrote: Mass of bigger cube/mass of smaller cube ^ 1/2
i.e. 3/1 ^ 1/2

That’s what you did but what exactly are you doing there? And when did you see me do that? I did a CUBE root and you are doing a SQUARE root. You did not even get my equation right. I did something else and you are claiming something else entirely.

You are wrongly interpreting basic physics and you’re also wrongly interpreting my equation. Mass is CUBICALLY proportional to a one dimensional value such as length and you are doing it SQUARELY which is wrong.

You did a square root of the ratio of higher mass to lower mass and you did a cube root of the ratio of higher volume to lower volume. That’s the EXACT OPPOSITE of what I did. That is wrong basic physics on your part.

8. Yes, you are right. Let me correct the mistake. Let me correct and check if it abides by your method. Let me follow your exact method line by line now.


200kg /100kg = 2

-->similarly, 3 cubic uints/ 1 cubic unit = 3 cubic unit.  (mass is the consequence of volume and density [M = Vd], thus equating mass as per your hypothesis)

Now we must do a cube root of 2 and we get 1.2599 (Lets call this number the Tiger’s bodymass score in relation to Jaguar)

-->similarlyNow we must do a cube root of 3 and we get 1.4422 (Lets call this number the cuboid B's mass score in relation to cube A)

Now, 1000/750 = 1.333
Now we must do a square root of this and we will get 1.1547 (let’s call this one the Tiger’s bite force score)

-->similarly, Now, 14/6 = 2.3333

                        Now we must do a square root of this and we will get 1.5275 (let’s call this one the cuboid B’s bite force [surface area] score)

Now these two ‘scores’ can be compared linearly so...

1.1547/1.2599 = .9165
.9165 x 100 = 91.65

This means that when scaled to the same size, the bite force of the Tiger would still be only 91.65 % that of the Jaguar (without any allometric variations)

-->similarlyNow these two ‘scores’ can be compared linearly so...
                     1.5275/1.4422 = 1.0591
                     1.0591 x 100 = 105.91
                  This means that when scaled to the same size, the surface area (bite force) of the cuboid B would be 105.91% that of the cube A (without any allometric variations)

,which again is absolutely wrong. As per the precise calculations, the result is that cuboid B will be 112.17% that of the cube A (with precise isometric variations)

This says that the equation of yours only works for the two structures that are of the same composition, dimentiaons, and everything, and not for structures which vary in composition, dimentions, etc.

Do you know something? While you assume both the tiger and jaguar have the same proportions and compositions of muscles, you defeat the whole purpose of the comparison. If that was the case, then both would proportionally have the same bite. Then why the comparison at the first place? The variance in the bite if scaled proportionally is itself because of the difference in proportions, dimentiaons, and the densities.

Are you aware of the bfq equation? They dont take the exact square and cube roots, instead they use precise numbers to scale them with parametres as log of body mass, etc... You cant just like that get off with square root and cube root like you do it for two things with exact same proportions (which is not the case with jaguars and tigers).

Why would you even scale if you know that the composition, dimensions and everything are the same? We cant simply assume such things just like that. Its for sure that the composiyion, dimentions and the very structure isnt the same between the jaguar and tiger. Thus, you can form equations only after taking in consideration all the carying factors, just exclusively for the comparison between the jaguar and tiger. Otherwise, its wrong.


Hope you understand.

Thanks,
Wrapp.

Brother, you hopefully will soon realise who fits for this sentence.
Thats what I said. If you assume the same shape and proportions, there would be no need for any comparison. 
You understand the issue with your equation and are still not properly demonstrating youe method since you are worried about getting falsified.
Okay, in that case, let me commit to this.

This can be understood as soon as we see the equation. This isnt something to be understood only after you make it a sentence. I am asking about the logic behind including the values of the tigers and jaguars, and then saying you are isometrically scaling only the value of the jaguar using the Galilio's rule. You cant give a logic cuz there isnt one.

Is that so? I didnt even say that the Galileo's law was wrong. Do you still use Galileo's law even after this in this case? Come on!


NOW THIS IS IMPORTANT SO READ ON.

I just showed you that you are wrong about the log graphs as those are for allometric regressions while we are calculating isometry.

And please stop lying. Your comparison of a cube and a cuboid of equal volume in one of the previous posts PROVES that you do NOT understand the difference between equality and proportionality which is the biggest reason you can't understand any of this.

And this means you lack the most basic of knowledge which you must've studied in high school. and I'm sorry because I can't teach you high school physics here.

Plus you also have a very arrogant attitude despite the fact that you just showed that even your basic understanding of physics is completely WRONG!

For these reasons, I no longer wish to discuss this with you because a) you lack the basic knowledge required to understand this and b) you have a very arrogant attitude despite the fact that you lack even basic knowledge on this subject.

Have a nice day!


Let the sensible ones understand. I am sorry to say that you are hopeless until you keep your ego away and try to understand things. There is a saying which says that a doctor is the patient for the patient in the asylum.

Just use your common sense, if I did assume the shape AND the same mass, then wouldn't the bite force have come out the same for both? WHICH IS NOT the case.
 
Brother, you hopefully will soon realise who fits for this sentence.
Thats what I said. If you assume the same shape and proportions, there would be no need for any comparison. 
You understand the issue with your equation and are still not properly demonstrating youe method since you are worried about getting falsified.
Okay, in that case, let me commit to this.

I did the same for cross sectional area but instead did a square root.

This can be understood as soon as we see the equation. This isnt something to be understood only after you make it a sentence. I am asking about the logic behind including the values of the tigers and jaguars, and then saying you are isometrically scaling only the value of the jaguar using the Galilio's rule. You cant give a logic cuz there isnt one.

You said the following and I QUOTE:

"The cross sectional surface area doesn’t increase with the power of 2 or 1/2 if the volume is by the "cube" or cube root (obviously), even if the composition/ density and everything is the same."

That is what you said and I quoted you word by word. NOW YOU TELL me what you said there is right or wrong? (hint: it's COMPLETELY WRONG) because the square cube law says the exact opposite of what you said

The fact that you said that particular sentence proves that you have absolutely NO CLUE what you're talking about here. 

That's more than enough to prove who is the doctor and who is the mental patient in your analogy.


Brother, are you not able to understand, or are pretending to understand nothing?

In the first place, the debate is about saying that you cant use the square cube law here. Then from where do you try to counter me by using the same? First, you need to prove that the square cube law is applicable in this comparison. Only then you can take such statements. I have been saying for such a long time on why the law of square-cube cant be used here.

You still dont give me an answer on why exactly you included the values of tiger and jaguar into an equation, and claiming it to be scaling the jaguar alone. Both are contradicting.
This was the justification you gave me, : "I assumed that the BIGGER JAGUAR would still have the same proportions as THE SMALLER JAGUAR"
You said that the jaguar doesnt change in proportion if you scale it isometrically up or down. Your statement is absolutely correct. This is correct when you scale the jaguar up or down to a particular weight. But, you say of scaling the jaguar alone, while you have an equation which differentiates both the tiger's and the jaguar's values together at the same time. But differentiating the taiger's and jaguar's values togeher in an equation, there is basically the idea of scaling the jaguar to the size of the tiger defeated since you have two variables and you do a one-dimentional regression which quantifies both the values in parallel. If you assess the functioning of your equation, you could see that this is done in there. Thus, having two pairs variables (varies on diffferentiating) in the equation, i.e., the weight and the bite force of the tiger and the weight and bite force of the jaguar, everything quantified in the equation, which in other words means that you are balancing two different structures with non-proportional values in your equation. This is the reason to take the cube and the cuboid. Now, you cant use two objects of different proportions in the square-cube law.

Now, what you devised was not wrong, but was not correct for this scenario since you are having only the ratio between the weight and the bite force. You simply cant do it with the logic of square-cube law. You dont know how thick is the muscles of jaguar compared to the tiger. So, the relation between an scaling a proportionally-less bulky material to a bulky material which was initiallly smaller, and vice versa will have no relativity equation devised until and unless we know exactly how bulky the material is in comparison. Without having any information regarding this, an equation which deals with the ratio alone will do it, but will not justify the reality. Your equation is not wrong, but it cant be used in the scenario given here. We are simply in lack of data.

Thanks,
Wrapp.

Okay so my calculation was indeed wrong. I'm sorry for stretching it for this long and arguing for this long, I'll delete the previous posts now.

Finally, here is the ACTUALLY CORRECT calculation:

200kg/100kg (new mass of Jaguar/old mass of Jaguar) = 2

Now, the bite force will increase by 2^2/3 times which means the bite force will become the following:

750N x 2^2/3 = 750x1.5874 = 1190N

So IF the 100kg Jaguar had a bite force of 750N then the new 200kg Jaguar will have a bite force of 1190N

(But almost everything you said about the square-cube law and everything else still was TOTALLY wrong)

Once again, I'm sorry I streched this argument for this long and I'll delete my previous posts now.

(What you said about the square-cube law still wasn't correct though)

There you come! I appreciate you for the correction once again. Atleast now you are able to understand things. Anywhays, this is a quick post and will be getting back to you once again after reviewing your method. (Whatever I said about the square cube law was correct though. People who read it will understand.)
