the 15 foot tall boulder weighs 100 tons, so if you magically increased its height to 20 feet and kept the same proportions, it would weigh 2.37 times more. Or 237 tons.
Also, his obelisk is tall and thin. The boulder is wider. And then again, there is still the question of what they are made of, unlikely to be equivalent in density anyway.
The Obelisk in the middle is about one and a third Dookus tall. That's (4/3) x (height of Dooku). Dooku was noted as 1.9 meters tall earlier in the thread, so that means (4/3*1.9) =2.53 meters.
The Obelisk in question is about half a Dooku wide at the bottom. So that's 1.9/2 or .95 meters.
(1/3) (.95^2) (2.53) = .076 meters cubed.
Having found the volume (in meters cubed) we must now make a reasonable guess about the density. Similar materials on earth (Marble, Obsidian) have densities of around 2.6 grams per cubic centimeter, or 2600 kg per cubic meter, or 5,730 pounds per cubic meter.
Multiplying the volume (in cubic meters) by the density (mass per cubic meter) gets us an answer to how much mass is in play. Assuming normal Earth gravity, this is our answer for weight. Thus:
([.076] Cubic Meters) X (5730 lbs / Cubic Meters)
= 4361 [Lbs]
= 2.18 [Tons]
This is for the larger size of pillar. Am I just biffing the height comparison? How are you making it to 24 tons?
^The one in the middle is in the foreground with Dooku further back. The small ones are slightly taller than Dooku (need a different angle to see) and the big ones are just over twice their size.
The big ones are 5m tall, 1.25m for the base dimensions and .5m for the top base dimensions.
Its base pyramid is 1.86 tons and its frustum body is 11.643 tons, 13.509 tons. This makes the small ones 1.689 tons.
6 smalls and 8 bigs = 118 tons total
...hate looking at the tech v-v
Now I am older and wiser. And you guys are the best guys I know with math so I had no choice but to come to you, grovelling at your feet like a stray looking for scraps. Scraps of wisdom, given from on high.

I dunno if they're 5 meters tall. Closer to 3 imo.
Dooku is 1.9 m tall and Opress is 2.25 m tall if that helps.

Smalls are a tad taller than Dooku and the bigs are a lil over twice the smalls height, 4.5 or 5.
The hells an Opress?
And you should hate maths, its a disgusting thing.
Kind of, but it wasn't an essay. You're thinking of this.
After I turned it in he thought I plagiarized it because everyone knows black men can't write intelligently, so he google'd it and found it here, lol.
I had to post in the thread so that he'd believe it was me.
Can't really hold it against him; I wrote it while high and I had just gotten into Warhammer 40K. It's kind of weird.
