Durability question

[MetaKnight]

What level of durability is needed to withstand or shrug off a grand piano falling on the head from several stories?

Assuming the piano is 750 pounds and taking the lowest value for several storeys (so 3 storeys) it would be 9A or Small Building level.

No it wouldn't, it'd be 9-B, 33005.62 joules to be exact.

Yh. Messed up the range for the amount of joules. Thanks

Using this Splat Calculator I got 42679.27 Joules

What values are you using? For height I used 10.21m and 340.19kg for mass. Got 34038.73 joules. Close to what chariot also got

I found that the average height of a storey is 14 feet, using a minimum of 3 storeys would give a total of 42 feet or 12.8016 meters, and for the mass I used 340.194 kg

3.3m. Would be closer to 9.9m.

Ok. I found out that the height of a storey varies depending on the country and type of building, so I think we shouldn't dwell much on the height without more context since everything we all got is still wall level.
