In the game Beyond Oasis, the main protagonist, Prince Ali, is capable of casually pushing a large boulder. This will be a simple calculation to see how strong he'd need to be in order to do so.

Here is a comparison between Prince Ali and the boulder in question:

Ali's age is unknown but he is meant to be a teenager, roughly around 17 or 18 years old. Because of this, I'll be using the average height for a 18 year old when doing this calculation, which is around 169 cm tall. As you can see in this next image, the boulder is pretty much exactly Ali's height:

The boulder is a perfect circle, so we know that it is 169 cm both ways. This will help us with the next part, which is finding the volume. I used the volume of a sphere, obviously.

In order to find the volume of a sphere, all we need is the radius, which is half of the diameter. As already establihed, the diameter is 169 cm, which would make the radius 84.5 cm, or 0.845 m. Run that through a calculator, and we find:

Volume is 2.53 m^3

Next we need to find density, which is a bit harder because I'd need to determine what this boulder is actually made out of. Initially I thought that it must just be some sort of rock, but it isn't. For one, it doesn't match any other stone structure in the entire temple. And secondly...

It shares the exact same color palette and shading as this mechanical metal lever, which is seen later in the temple. So the boulder must actually be metal, but what kind of metal? Well, the only kind of common metal that would natrually be this reddish-brown color without rust, would have to be copper.

The density of copper is 8.96 g/cm^3. Or, in other words...

Density is 8960 kg/m^3

Using these two numbers, we can find the calculate the mass of the boulder that Prince Ali is able to casually push around around. Put the Volume and Density into the Mass Calculator and we get...

Mass is 22,668.8 kg, Class 25
