How to calculate destroying rectangular prism shaped stones

[FuriousFieryFist]

As the title says I would like to try my hand at calculating the force needed to destroy large stone blocks. How would I go about doing this?

First, take 2 screenshots of the character next to the stone block. One where they are in front of it to get the height and length, and one where they are standing next to the doorway to get the width.

Then, put said pictures into a program like Microsoft Paint, and pixel scale using the line tool. Basically, measure how tall the character is in pixels, and do: Character's Height/Number of Pixels, to get the size of each pixel in centimeters.

Then, measure the stone block's height and length in pixels, and multiply both by the size of each pixel.

Then, repeat the previous two steps for the stone block's height in the second screenshot you took.

Then, multiply the length, width, and height to get your volume in Cubic Centimeters.

Then, multiply your result by 8, since that's the energy required to fragment stone per cm^3.

Then, you have your result in joules. Plug that into a joules to tons of tnt calculator if you want to get your result in tons.

By eyeballing the feat, I'm guessing the feat will be around 9-B/9-A.

Ok so I'm finding the volume of the block and then multiplying it by 8, correct? Then I use the page you linked to figure out what value to use? For the pixel scaling what do we use if we don't know the height of the character?

In cubic centimeters yes

Then I use the page you linked to figure out what value to use?

No need, since i already told you the value to use, which is 8 j/cc. I just linked it for reference.

For the pixel scaling what do we use if we don't know the height of the character?

I’d just google the height of the average man/woman, depending on the calc

Alright I finished. Anything you see that's wrong? If not I go ahead and put this in the calculation evaluations thread correct?
