guess work and rewatching the cutscene a hundred thousand times are my method. I've actually done frame by frame analysis of Link's stride, dude. The measurement you're using is impossible.You're also continueing to ignore the arc of the toss.
Show me your work. there are differently shaped hexagons and shit. 😬 Let's see the work you've done, I've personally calculated the base of the damn thing a million times with associated diagrams and shit explaining which side is what length and what that means.
mmm I'm beginning to become angry. BYE FOR NOW. [/B]
Yeah and both ways got either 30 or 40m. Thats it, measuring the steps was the 3rd method -w- These are some quick tests [I'm around Links height] By copying Link's jog my stride is 90cm, takes just over 3 seconds to travel 10 which is 9-10steps.. thats 3m/s. A quick search yields to an average jog speed of 2.5m/s.
It takes Link 7 seconds to travel the distance with his jog. Using my interpretation speed [3m/s] he's traveling 21m, 17.5m with the average [2.5m/s] speed.
He also takes around 30 steps to get there. Going by my stride [30steps*90cm] thats 27m, with the number of steps [where 9-10steps=10m] its 27-30m.
17.5m, 21m, 27m, 27m, 30m. This third method gives an average of 25m, and you say you got 200m? Why don't you show how you got this, I never did see your figures for this.
I didnt ignore the arc, was just lacking the correct data to waste my time finding the right formula. But as you can see;
''Velocity: 30m/s... or 50m/s if using a 100m length to be fair in case of mistakes.''
😕 already covered this by putting it up to 60m then again further to 100m. But looking at the angle of the arc over 30m it would give a number only around 40m.
Oh and the reason my trig was off the last time was due to forgetting that almost half of the pillar was buried underground, hence the distance almost being double the first trig. Checking them both again both give a distance of 30m~
So thats trig, visuals and steps all coming up with the same numbers. 😐 Thats some great consistency.
(3√3/2)244^2
2.5980762113*244^2 } are all the area of a hexagon when given one side.
Type in 244.
183cm = 6f = Link's height.
Pic1; 183cm = 198pix
264pix/198pix = 1.333
183cm*1.333 = 243.939cm ~ 244cm = One side of the hexagon base.
Pic2; 183cm = 92pix
218pix/92pix = 2.369
183cm*2.369 = 433.527cm ~ 434cm [The typo in the pic fooled meh D:] = Half the height of the pillar
Height: 868cm again upped to 900cm for the points.
Base: (3√3/2)244^2 = 2.5980762113*59,536 = 154,679.065cm2
Volume: 154,679.065cm2*900cm = 139,211,158cm3
Density: 2.75g/cm3 [Granite is between 2.65 and 2.75, I'm using the heaviest for Link's sake.] [Note for non-metric users: 2.6g/cm3 = 162.24lb/ft3. 2.75 = 171.6lb/ft3.]
Weight: 139,211,158cm3*2.75 = 382,830,684 grams
= 421.998 tons ~ 422 tons.
Velocity: 2 seconds. Distance is either 25-30m with the method of sight, trig and steps <= 33-40m~ arc. 50m was to be nice.(66m~arc) And I used 100m for the whole distance, arc included, just as a halfway point between our numbers .____. lol being too kind here, thats 50m/s for extreme fairness.
~Another mistake; I used the weight before density in the joules calc the last time.~
(382,820kg*50m/s^2)/2 = 478,525,000 joules = 478 megajoules ~ 500MJ
Problems with your work;
1. You somehow got double the height, needs explaining.
2. Got a distance of 200m without ever showing your numbers for it.

@NemeBro: MadMel wanted to know what the weight of the block is and how fast it was moving, so I found some numbers. Though that 300m seems off...
