and it almost worked, my niece wanted a pair to walk on water.

I got a gadget as a gift once, a ball that bounces on water. Special urethane texture, density and flexibility. Stupid me managed to misplace it before I got to use it.

Still, it would be interesting if someone managed to calculate how hard one would need to kick the water, to keep a grown man from going under.

If someone MANAGED to calculate it? Why don't you just do it yourself if you're interested? Too lazy to find out the viscosity of water, or an approximation to the Reynolds number of, say, the bottom 6 inches of a human foot? Which brings up a problem with your statement of the problem. "going under"? How FAR under is under? If 6 inches is your limit, you will get a completely different answer from if your limit is 3 inches or a foot or a millimeter. Not just completely different answers, but the way the problem itself is solved will be completely different.

lol....sandor

But considering your herculean black hole brain fart, I think you can give him some lee way on this one.

in fact I would submit (humbly) that Sandor be the one to calculate it.
As an exercise.
OR,,will he put us under his contempt.
