Breaking A Wrestling Ring

[RandomGuy2345]

Wrestlers have shown many times to be able to destroy a wrestling ring.

This was briefly discussed about, but I really want to know if there's any kind of method to use for these kind of feats.

If anyone needs help, I might be able to help.

You will need to calculate the destruction of the support pillars in this instance.

Do you mean the 4 support pillars on each corner?

Is there a specific formula for that?

Just find the volume of the pillars and calculate their destruction based on their materials.

 

[RandomGuy2345]

Struggling a bit to find the shape of the pillars (they kinda look like cylinders).

 

[RandomGuy2345]

I'll focus on this when I wake up from my sleep.

 

[Pikaman]

Bump

 

[RandomGuy2345]

Finding the volume of pillars is a bit of a struggle for me.

 

[Pikaman]

Busy atm but will give it a go soon

Which posts/pillars are we talking about? Is there an image of them?

The pillars are the ones on the left and right.

I got the height of them, I just need everything else.

 

[RandomGuy2345]

The pillars are in the shape of a cylinder (albeit they are pretty skinny), so the formula for that is πr^2h.

I just need the radius for it.

If this is to scale you could just pixel scale it lol

I don't know how to pixel scale

I'm so useless...

 

[Pikaman]

Ah fair lol, you should’ve seen my first calculation when I didn’t know how to pixel scale, got 6-C+ for a 7-A feat

I need my computer to do it which I won’t be able to get on until later tomorrow, so you might have to hold out a little while longer

Granted pixel scaling is relatively simple, if you have any favours to cash in you could ask someone to do it real quick, even if only to check if the image is to scale

If you wanna learn how to do it yourself, I just use Word Document, you can draw a line on it using insert shape and then enter the length in pixels (type in yypx to get a line yy pixels long, etc.) in the top right corner, guesstimate until you land on the perfect length for whatever you’re measuring and log down the px length

I’m sure there’s a mildly more accurate way to do it, but pixels are such short units of measurement it can’t affect the calcs I do now (9-B range) by any more than a handful of Joules

 

[RandomGuy2345]

Bumpity?

 

[Pikaman]

Remind me what you mean by pillars? Like the posts? They’re measured right there in the image if so

 

[RandomGuy2345]

Remind me what you mean by pillars? Like the posts? They’re measured right there in the image if so

Yeah, the pillars are already measured in height.

I just need to find the volume of a pillar, which is hard for me to do.

 

[Pikaman]

Oh so you need the radius of the posts? I’ll check if the image above is to scale and if it is I’ll pixel scale that for you tomorrow

 

[RandomGuy2345]

If this ends up getting good results, I'll be so happy...

 

[Pikaman]

Image is not to scale so you'll have to find another way to find the radius of the posts, a birds eye view of the ring with something easily measurable and scalable would work

I can find other images of a wrestling ring, if ya want.

Just give me a bit.

If possible getting them with a bird's eye camera angle and something that can be used to scale it off of

So how would we do that again?

 

[Pikaman]

Well I just need a IRL picture of a wrestling ring from a Bird’s Eye POV (from the roof pointing down kind of thing) and with something I can scale the posts to

 

[RandomGuy2345]

 

[Pikaman]

Nah Bird’s Eye view like this



Otherwise can’t scale it to anything

Ohhh okay.

Well, we already got the height, we just need a radius.

 

[RandomGuy2345]

This is an AEW arena, but it shouldn't make a difference imo.

Great! Is there any area of the ring we already know the measurements off that you could highlight here?

We know the height of the steel pillars is 18 inches.

We just need a radius, and then do the formula for the volume of each pillar.

Then we find the destruction of the pillars and get our destruction in joules (to hopefully good results).

Do we know anything like the length of the ropes, length of the ring, anything like that?

 

[RandomGuy2345]

Do we know anything like the length of the ropes, length of the ring, anything like that?

The length of the ring is 20 inches (6.1 meters).

Don't really know the length of the ropes, but I know it's less than 20 inches looking at this image.

 

[Pikaman]

That’s not the full length though, as marked in the diagram that’s the ring interior

 

[RandomGuy2345]

Then it'd be a little over 20 inches then.

Don't know what the specific length of it is, though.

 

[RandomGuy2345]

We might have to use pixel scaling to figure out the full length of the ring.

 

[Pikaman]

Yeah, I think if we can manage a good enough shot of the full length of the ring with like a person standing in the shot at equal distance to the camera, we can manage to get this radius found

 

[RandomGuy2345]

The full ring length is 22 inches (6.7 meters).

 

[RandomGuy2345]

Still couldn't find the rope length.

Though we might as well say the ropes are 20 inches since there's such a minuscule difference imo.

 

[Pikaman]

The full ring length is 22 inches (6.7 meters).

You a real one for this, expect a full calculation of the energy needed to break the ring in the coming days
