Hello, I just want to ask whether it's better to use height or width to find the size of a boulder?
For further context, I did a
calculation to find Mavuika's lifting strength. Later on, I noticed that just using the Long-Necked Rhino's shoulder width wasn't right, so
I
went back and made it more of a circle shape to find the diameter, which I did here:.
Long-Necked Rhino shoulder width: 298 px= 6.51875 m
1 px=0.021875 m
Boulder Diameter: 1380 px=30.1875 meters
Boulder Radius= 15.09375
Boulder Volume=14403.9
Continental crust, stone and earth: 2700 kg/m^3
14403.9m^3x2700 kg/m^3=
38,890,530 kilograms or
38890.53 Metric Tons (Class M)
When I asked
@TheRustyOne to do a reevaluation, he said this:
"What are you doing with the pixel scaling?
Lumine Height: 78 pixels=156.2 cm=1.56200 meters
1 pixel= 0.020025641 m
That should be your pixel scaling, why are you doing this?
Lumine Shoulder Width: 16 px=35-40 cm (we'll use 35)= 0.35 meters
1 pixel= 0.021875 m
Your calculation is contradicting itself. I don't see any logical reasoning for you to do that. Just use Lumine's height, I don't know why you're doing that.
Use the height of the dinosaur as your boulder diameter. You're overcomplicating the hell out of this. I don't know how I missed this."
I did a recalc using the height, like he said
here. If you're curious where I got Lumine's Shoulder width in the original calc, I used this 2024
article.
