Covering Cairo in a storm[]
The Feat[]
| “ | The Admiral said it out loud. Everybody was paying attention and then, silence. He raised his hand above his head, pointing to the deep blue sky. A heartbeat. Suddenly, the sky turns black. The people could hear the thunder. The people could feel the wind. The people could see the rain. The people could sense the storm. It was already there. The enterity of Cairo was at amazement. His power of the was that of a god. | „ |
The Calculation[]
Cairo is 528 km². If it is circular, its radius would be around 12.9 km (or 12900 m)
To get KE, I'll need mass and speed. To get mass I'll need volume and density. I've got density, 1.003 kg/m³, so I'll need volume.
- Volume and mass
Average height of storm clouds is 13 km.
- V = π * r² * h
V = π * 12.9² * 13
V = 6796300000000 m³
Density is 1.003 kg/m³, which means 20553700000000 kg.
- Speed
A heartbeat = one second
So, it traveled 12.9 kilometres in one second. This is 12900 m/s.
- KE
- KE = 1/2 * (M * Velocity²)
KE = 1/2 * (6816690000000 * 166410000)
KE = 567182691450000000000 joules (or 135.5 gigatons, High 6-C)
Van Pelt lifts a warship out of the ocean[]
The Feat[]
| “ | Still in New Cuba, in an uncharted archipelago, he found a shipwreck of a large ship of the line and, with the help of his elemental powers, removed her from the bottom of the ocean. At the time, he called her "All hail the Queen", in obvious tribute to his Faith. | „ |
The Calculation[]
The mass of such a ship = 1500 tonnes, or 1500000kg
- Depth of the Atlantic Ocean = 3646 mmeters
- Since the timeframe's unknown, I'll assume 1 minute (60 sec). Since we are talking about the Lord Admiral, this is massively lowballed.
- Acceleration = (2*3646)/(60 ^2) = 2.05 m/s²
- Force = 2.05*1500000 = 3075000 tons of force (Class M)
The Admirals' and the World Leader's fall[]
The Feat[]
| “ | The day's shiny. Well, it was shiny just about two seconds, but now a massive cloud's covered the sky. A bolt of lightning fell down, and we were sent flying from the top of the tower. I cannot say the fall was easy to endure. I barely had a heartbeat to react, and I ended up hitting the ground anyway. Since I was the first, however, I could use my powers to help the others Admirals. Redhood managed to survive by himself, though his arm broke in the process. I warned him to stay close, but the dumb World Leader didn't pay attention. I was furious, then I gave him a broken nose to match the broken arm. | „ |
The Calculation[]
The quote's clear. The Three Admirals and Your Majesty King William Redhood fell from the top of a tower.
The tower in question is the Federation's Prize, the tallest building in all of Arcadia. OK, Arcadia's now way less developed in engeneering than we are nowadays, but I feel comfortable using the height of Caesar’s Tower, which is 44.8m.
I'll be using g = 9.81 m/s²
Van Pelt's weight's 165.3 lbs (or 75 kg)
PE = mgh
PE = 75 * 9.81 * 44.8
PE = 32961.6 joules (or 32.9 kilojoules; Wall level)
Now, since I cannot possibly know the weight of the other three characters, I'll use average human weight, which's 62 kg
PE = mgh
PE = 62 * 9.81 * 44.8
PE = 27248.256 joules (or 27.2 kilojoules; Wall level)
Skyland's floating around[]
The "Feat"[]
| “ | No one knows for sure how the Hell it got there. Skyland is wandering through the skies of the country that we used to call the United States of America, its natives possess a beautiful pair of wings, so, until the moment, they are the only ones who can go up there. | „ |
The Calculation[]
Well, Skyland's area is around 15000 km². If it's spherical, then it's radius would be around 34549.4 m, which gives us a volume of 1.72747 x 10^14 m³ (or 1.72747 x 10^20 cm³).
I'll usse granite as the island's material. Its density's 2.75 g/cm³.
mass = 2.75 * 1.72747 x 10^20 = 4.7505425 x 10^20 g (or 4.7505425 x 10^17 kg)
PE = mgh
Mass = 4.7505425 x 10^17
g = 9.81 m/s²
I'll assume around 3000 meters, since the island is above the clouds and cannot be actually seen from land.
PE = 4.7505425 x 10^17 * 9.81 * 3000 = 139808.465775 x 10^17 joules (or 3.34 teratons; Small Country level)
The Sea of Cortés[]
The Feat[]
| “ | One moment, the fierce serpent was about to swallow the entire pirate fleet with no remorse. The other, the whole sea was frozen, and the serpent dead, stationed, nothing more than an ice statue of a former powerful monster. The Admiral would not leave the joy to the beast. | „ |
The Calculation[]
The average temperature on Earth is 15 C. However, this is not Earth in the literal sense, this is Arcadia, and the minimum temperature here is 40 C. I'll use this one as a low-end.
- Part 1 - Mass
Volume of the Sea of Cortés is 145000 km³, which means 145000000000000 m³.
Density of water is 1000 kg/m³, which means: m = 145000000000000000 kg (or 1,45x10^17).
- Part 2 - Temperature
Specific Heat Temperature
Q1 = m * c * ΔΤ
ΔΤ = 40C
Q1 = 145000000000000000 * 4186 * 40
Q1 = 24278800000000000000000 joules
Latent Heat of Fusion
Q2 = ML
Q2 = 145000000000000000 * 333.7
Q2 = 48386500000000000000 joules
- Part 3 - Adding them together
Q1 + Q2 = 24278800000000000000000 + 48386500000000000000 = 24327186500000000000000 joules or 5.8 teratons (Low 6-B, Small Country level+)
That is, assuming the Sea of Cortés did not raise in volume when the world flooded lol.
