The troubling part is the fact that the doors don't appear to have hinges or even be openable normally in any capacity. I'd just need to know what kind of stress pushing against the door like that would be

I think that would be either Yield or Shear. Ultimate Tensile definetely doesn't fit that definition. (This is incase its an LS feat aswell but you can make it an AP feat aswell with it)

So, to be clear, it'd be Yield strength of (whatever metal that is) * cross sectional area of the door's perimeter?

Yes, I believe so

What would the standard be for finding the weight of a 20 something someone on a mortar cycle crashing into a wall at 150 k/h?

Is there a standard weight to be used?

 

[Arkenis]

Just search average adult weight on male or female

Anyone have an idea on how to calculate bending something (let's just say a rectangular prism) in half until it breaks?

Apparently, the last answer I was given wasn't correct... I still need an answer for this.

This on common feats I believe.

I don't think so? At least, I can't seem to find it (or ANY calc that involves bending something until it breaks)

Can check here I suppose.

Bending Feats

Bending feats, I kick a pole and it bends, how would we calculate the energy behind this? Current calculations I see calculate it like this. It's not necessarily wrong, it's just unreliable because it assumes a constant force and ignores the nonlinearness of plastic bending. The old way uses a...

How does the destruction of ores compare to pure metal? Do we just use the metal, do we just use stone? Do we look for the typical minimum percentage of the metal in the ore to be economical valuable ore and just calculate the destruction of the rock and the metal? Is fragmentation even assumed to have to break the metal in the ore?

Question, I wanna calculate this feat

It's a Deep Tunnel straight-down, I can see the distant light at the top of the Tunnel, but I don't know how deep the Tunnel is.

Is there a way to calculate depth here?

Question for Fire Emblem:

I was looking at the Dulam spell from Mystery of the Emblem, and was wondering if it could be used for light speed, since it is described as a beam of light

Duram
A magic spell that summons two gigantic demonic eyes and uses beams of light emitted from them to whittle down the opponent's health, leaving them with only a tiny fraction of their strength. Used by mages who have been drawn into darkness.(Fire Emblem: The Complete, p.89)



Taking a look at the attack animation (3:09 mark),



it doesn't seem to be a case of aim-dodging, since Jeorge starts moving on the first frame of the spell trajectory, which is already in its way



Though maybe I'm wrong at the exact criteria on deciding aim-dodging, could someone on here let me know if it is a valid feat before attempting calculations?
