Official Calculations Discussion Thread

Is there a way to find the speed of something based on the pressure/power of its Sonic Boom?
 
Question; What methods should I use to calculated a feat like this (E.g. Gripping an object hard enough to crush it with one hand)? Is it either Shear Strength, Compressive Strength or Tensile Strength, what between these is better to get LS from?

Are there any that involve affecting the Sun and not moving the Moon?

Sun don’t move though? (Technically it move if we consider the whole solar system). Solar eclipse is condition where moon is between Earth and Sun so moving sun here doesn’t make sense unless somehow the verse make it so that the sun had an orbit around the earth.

I'll change the question then, are there any calcs where the Sun is darkened out?
 
I did a similar calc in another wiki before. I just do at least moon level, possibly sun level since we don’t know which one moved
 
Oh yeah quick question for you guys

If a character throws a hammer with enough force to shatter a wall can that be used for LS?
 
How would I be able to calculate a crater feat like this?

Ik vsb has a general guideline for crater feats, but I seem to struggle applying this while using craters with more inconsistent shapes (basically the crater has an uneven amount of destroyed sides)
 
Quick question

Are there any calcs that involve moving your arm 90 degrees? I'd like to figure out how to gauge distance using that

Just turn degrees into radians and multiply arm length by the radian amount
90 degrees = 1.571 radians
say arm length is like 0.855m
0.855*1.571=1.343205m
 
Hi, I'm new. Pleasure seeing you all here!

How would I calculate the thermal energy needed to cause a commercial building (I've estimated via hall size and inch per pixel to reach about 212.376 m^3, walls have tiles and are likely analogous to a restaurant in terms of construction) to collapse?

Usually a building collapsing would be fragmentation. Wdym by the thermal energy?

The amount of energy (Joules) released through combustion (At least that's what I could find) For example, a pound of fully dried wood produces 8600 BTU (British Thermal Units), or 9,073,480 Joules when it is combusting

Though fragmentation might be better to calc. So what would the formula/way to calc that be?

Look for the material of the building on the table and there should be a destruction value for it

at that point you multiply the volume in cm3 by the j/cc frag value to the energy in joules

For clarification (I'm asking for future reference) are you asking the amount of energy it would take to straight up put out the sun? Like how you put out a fire?

This is the context of what I am trying to calculate:

“But one day, the Sith grew bold, for their empire had spread far and wide, and with it, a cloak of darkness that had fallen across many worlds, plunging the galaxy into an era of perpetual night.
“So it was that they sent an emissary to Aaloth, a powerful Sith Lord named Darth Quellus, who—so strong was he in the dark side of the Force—banished the light of the bonfires with a single wave of his gauntleted hand.

“With the flames extinguished, the villages had no protection against the creatures of the night, which, encouraged by the Sith—for all the things that lurk in darkness share a terrible kinship—came out of the shadows to terrorize the Twi’lek people.

“Soon the colony was overrun, and Darth Quellus and his followers had seized control, proclaiming Aaloth another foothold of their great and terrible Sith empire.

“At first the Twi’leks, whose spirits remained unbroken despite the occupation, tried to keep the flames alive, smuggling candles into their homes and lighting them at night, protecting their homesteads from the terrors that lurked outside. For a time, this worked, until Darth Quellus came to know of it—for there were those even among the Twi’leks who thought to side with their new masters and inform on their kin in the hope of gaining safety, respect, and power. But that is not the way of the Sith, and these traitors soon learned the costs of doing business with the dark side.

“So incensed was Darth Quellus that he searched the homes of the villagers and sought out all of their candles. Then, drawing deep on his accursed powers, he blighted the candles to only burn black, spreading night whenever they were lit. All light was prohibited, and even the glow of the sun was muted. The colony was plunged into darkness, both literal and spiritual.

“Fractured into small groups and confined to their villages, the Twi’leks knew not what to do. Some tried to fight back, to take up arms against their oppressors, but the might of the Sith was without equal, and in the darkness their power was absolute. Darth Quellus would not be defeated that way, and all who tried were destroyed. The spirit of the Twi’leks was finally broken.

“Yet all the while, a lone woman by the name of Silana worked steadily in the darkness within her hut. She had been one of the very first settlers to come to Aaloth and had grown old among the primitive spires of the fledgling colony. Alone in her simple dwelling, she crafted scores of little pouches, sewing and sewing and sewing until her fingers bled and her sheets had all been cut up and repurposed. Then, blind and alone, she would venture out in the quiet, stumbling through the undergrowth, to harvest baskets full of some unknown substance from the woods that surrounded her village.

“Mocked by the other Twi’leks, who saw her efforts as mere folly, or perhaps the crazed work of a fragmented mind, she nevertheless toiled on. Meanwhile, the others gathered in a secret conference to plot a last great attack upon the Sith Lord.”

If we interpret it as him actually affecting the star, spreading night would be a effect or literally a solar eclipse. The corona is the only thing that shows during a total solar eclipse and even then its practically night.

Hmm, It seems like you need to calculate the amount of energy it would take to remove all forms of light from the distance between the Earth and the Sun

idk any calcs to use as a reference for this feat, so you're gonna have to ask a CGM who's knowledgeable on sun/star calcs
 
Does anyone know the best way to calculate this feat?



I originally thought the inverse square law would work since the nuke (before it gets parried) is omnidirectional, but now I'm not sure.
 
There's a verse with a somewhat unconventional nuke (it's a thermonuclear weapon which is surrounded by gasses to carry plasma alongside the blast wave) that's capable of destroying a heavily fortified ground target from an altitude of 50 miles/80 km.

The problem is that, even at less than half this altitude, nuclear detonations operate very differently. For instance, the blast efficiency shifts towards thermal energy rather than kinetic. These altitudes really don't permit a blast wave or a defined fireball.

I've done some research on the subject, but I have no idea how to handle this calculation. Using radiated energy isn't very effective because it low-balls the result to a ludicrous degree and doesn't take certain factors into account, and I can't really even apply what little information I've found about 80 km detonations right now.

What's the most effective way I could go about this?
