Woohoo, official off-topic thread!

Yaaaay! 😄

Just as long as it isn't a thousand tonnes like dadudeman seems to think.

This cow bets it is no more than ten tons.

IF that tree is a full meter thick (it's not), and he snapped it near the base (he didn't) this would require 40MPa of stress, pinewood's UTS is 40MPa, so yeah.

Since Pa = Newton per meter squared, and 1 newton = 1 joule that'd be 40 MJ or 8 992 357 pounds of force. Luckily! The tree is not that big. ... And...! Elephants push trees over consistently with their heads, the trees don't break their roots give. Granted the trees are smaller.

IE, the tree should not have snapped before it's roots gave. We can't see the roots but logicly let's just be real, here, even if the vampires do sparkle. The numbers for just pushing a tree over are MUCH less impressive.

Now for a more realistic set of numbers, looking at the tree it's probably about .6-7 of a meter thick, Sooo.

Here's something that happens in nature, a tree grows at too extreme of an angle to support it's own weight. This results in stumps uprooting themselves, not the trees breaking, everyone who's ever been in a forest has seen a stump like this.

Let's assume a 45 degree angle is typicly where the give happens. In a tree this size, *looks again, just eyeballing, guesstimate*

A freezeframe at 0:59 reveals it's /not that big/.

It looks about 7-9 meters and tapers, as trees do. So, to find it's volume:

Base (0.6) x height (8) x width (Pi*r^2) /2.
13.57 M^2

Now if we find the density of soft wood

the density of common softwoods varies from 450 to 640 kg/m3 so, let's go big or go home. 13.57 x 640 kg = 8685.8 kg.

Now, if a tree's hit 45 degrees to fall over, that means it root structure cannot horizontally support 50% of it's weight, approx. Sooo.. /2

4342.9 kg.

9554.46 lbs, or 4.7 tons of force. Equivalent to 2140.19 Newtons, 2.1 Kj. Not very high scale.

Thanks, I love you. <3

A thousand tons?

Jesus christ who would think that?

I saw the name fool rhetorical question. uhuh

and no I'm not going to that deadzone. uhuh

Meh, I went over there and posted, no one's posted since. Lol. "1000+ ton elephants!"

Meh. I went.

Had a laugh. Saw a hot sig. Twas worth it.

But dadudemon can't be bad. His signature and avatar look so delicious!

I too love me some cinnamon rolls.

I fill the void with liberal amounts of bushmills, some music, and the rest is allll numbers. :3

My dry streak is like... a month ^^;

N'aw I think someone needs a manhug hug

We went walking down by the lake after going out for breakfast/lunch. Kinda chilly, but there were some pretty big waves on the lake so I took a bunch of pictures 😊

And yes, GK is wearing an Assassin's Creed shirt 😛

Was gonna ask you to do the math there but seems I was beaten to it. What do ya know.

If only we could all get a guy like GK~

Speak for yourself, sir.
