Official Calculations Discussion Thread

Question for the people in the Calc Group, how much strength would a character need to thrown something from the surface of the Earth to the Sun
 
technically the minimum speed would be 11000m/s but like, that is just the speed necessary to leave earth's gravity
 
So I did a little digging and... https://www.azom.com/article.aspx?ArticleID=2863

On further research, aluminum in pure form is usually designated with the 1000s by aluminum distributors: https://www.aerospacemetals.com/aluminum-distributor.html

And doing a little comparing between the two (and using the Inspect Element tool on my browser because the table's divisions were improperly colored), aluminum has a shear strength (what we use for fragmentation values) ranging from 50 to 85 MPa depending on whether it was strain-hardened or not: https://prnt.sc/2jhFnuRlycKw

That table came from the same site you guys assumed 48.75 MPa from, btw. Also, a little advisory note, keep your eyes peeled, because for stuff like airplanes, aluminum may be alloyed.
I try looking for alloy stuff when things like this occur with regards to aircraft so there's that.
 
From minute 11:48 to 12:05 for the throwing into the Sun feat (Sorry in advance if you see ads, it was the only site with enough quality to use)

I got a question. What is the power difference between someone who scaled to 99.6 Megajoules and someone who scales to 5.20 Kilotons?
How many times stronger is the 5.20 than the 99.6?
 
How do I calculate the AP for making stone structures, like these spikes? Would it be like water feats where you use latent heat of fusion? I vaguely rememeber seeing a similar calculation for the FMA verse but can't find it to use as reference.
 
How much force would be required to tear off the roof of a car/truck?

Do I have to find the volume of a pistol and use the density of gold, and then apply tensile strength?
For obvious reasons, it wouldn't be actually made of gold because gun metallurgy would tear it to shreds, a gold leaf tint is more appropriate, so it should use gun steel.
