After some googling, some of the heavier rock types are 3g/cm^3, which is 3000kg/m^3
If we use the person as a rough ruler of 1.6m, the rock is about 5 person wide, and 3 person high (eye measure), give or take. And if we say it’s 3 person deep, then it has a rough mass of 5331.63000 = 216 000 kg, which is in the same order of magnitude.
Close enough to check out, I’d say.
Edit: I realized since the actual ruler we use is 1.6m (assumed), it should be multiplied by 1.6 three times (one for each dimension/length), not just once. If we do that, we end up with 921 600 kg instead, putting 500 000 kg well within the range of possibilities from a quick calculation.
Edit 2: as pointed out below, the actual correct estimation would be 553 tons
5331.6 is not the same as (51.6)(31.6)(31.6), however
The reason we multiply with 1.6 on every dimension is because the ruler we use is 1.6m long. We effectively create a new unit, and have to convert. If a length is 5 person wide, then in reality it’s 5*1.6 = 8 meters long, where 1.6 is the conversion ratio from the unit of ‘person’ to the unit of ‘meter’. And this applies for every individual measurement.
Also, 5331.6 is not the same as (51.6)+(31.6)+(31.6) in the first place
I was a little sad to see that my icon pack foregoes this feature, but I can’t see myself using a different one. Delta icons on F-Droid has so much coverage (10k+), are free, and they’re so clean looking.
Plus I’m using Chrono as my default clock and alarms.
