How would this floating island shaking feat be calculated. Would using the earthquake formula work? Also how to calculate the island's volume?

Help calculating shaking/moving a floating island

shaking won't work if the island is like 100m or sth as that is against the rules. Otherwise maybe calculate the initial free fall speed of the island (free fall speed at the distance it moved) and calculate the KE. Then scale the dude above the KE as he would be above the energy required to keep the island afloat

What shape would the island be to calculate the volume, maybe a spherical cap?

Up to you. Just round it up to the closest shape you see

The 90-100 m mark is the starting point for the Earthquake formula being viable as per what DontTalkDT told me.

Ye, if it is that big then you can do it. You should have an earthquake and a KE end

KE end is gonna be super tricky if you want to try peak ground acceleration, you'd need frequencies and wavelengths and cm/s values for that, and even then half the time it isn't usable even then.

Yeah earthquake wouldn't work since the island is 65 m. Then would using free fall speed or peak ground acceleration be more appropriate?
