What forces would be at work if you were trying to move a huge block of stone?

If you were trying to move a huge block of stone, the forces of friction would be applied against you. To get the stone in motion, you must overcome static friction, the friction force that acts on objects that are not moving and is always working in the direction opposite of your applied force. Then, to keep it in motion, you must overcome sliding friction, which, though it takes effort to keep moving a stone, is substantially less than the effort to get a stone into motion originally.

What would the gravity be on a 1 kg block?
That depends on where it is. If it's on the surface of the Earth, then the forces of gravity in both directions between the block and the Earth are about 9.807 newtons (2.204 pounds). But if you take the block to the moon's surface, for example, then the forces of gravity in both directions between the block and the Moon are about 1.62 newtons (5.84 ounces).
Two men applaying forces in different direction on a stone of 30kg and 5 healthy men applaying full force on the same and determining resultant reaction?
The stone will move in the direction of most force. In this case, the stone would move in the direction the five healthy men are pushing.
How do you determine net force?
All you have to do is add all the forces. For example if you are pushing a block with a force of 5N to the right and pushing it to the left with a force of 3N the answer would be 2N to the right.
Why would the impact of the heavy stone would produce waves with higher amplitude than the impact of the light stone would?
due to higher intensityof heavy stone than a lighter stone
Would a block with holes in it sink in water?
Depends on what the block is made of. A block of wood will float. A block of concrete will sink.
What instrument would you use to measure the forces on the block?
Balanced .
Blocks of pyramids cut?
To excavate the stone 'pounders' were used to pulverize the stone around the edge of the block. 60 - 70 men would pound out the stone. At the bottom of the block they rammed wooden pegs into slots they had cut and filled the slots with water. The pegs would expand, splitting the stone and the block was then slid down onto a waiting boat
What is Harry trying to accomplish in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone?
Harry Potter was trying to prevent Lord Voldemort from stealing the philosopher's stone. He knew that if Voldemort got the stone he would be able to return to power and would start the war again.
What sport would you be playing if you were trying to get stones in the house?
stone fighting! like using a stone to aim for the indoors.
Cracked engine block?
Then more than likely you need a new block. I would advise against trying to have it repaired.

What would you do if you re a stone wall trying to solve a disagreement?
If you are a stone wall trying to solve a disagreement, you may not get very far. Being flexible is one of the most optimal positions for negotiations and arbitration.
If you were trying to heat soup would you want to use a good thermal conductor or a good thermal insulator Explain your answer.?
Conductor. You're trying to move heat, not block it.
How were stone cannon balls made?
Stone canon balls, or shot, were made by hand by an experienced stonemason. The process was, and still is (can be made for living history demos but not fired ), a time consuming job. Material would have been any hard natural stone that was available, usually sand stone but sometimes granite. The stone would be hand worked to small radius sections and then rubbed up with a stone block. A reverse section template would be used for accuracy.
Why didn't the egyptians use sand instead of stone blocks?
It is because Egyptians were smart enough to make stone blocks. But even if they used sand, it would be destroyed by the next day because of natural forces.

What is the weakest block in minecraft?
Take a search for the "minecraftWiki" on Yahoo/Google and it will give you all the information you ever wanted to know about Minecraft. My guess would be Sand. (or Ice) Actually Sand, Sand Stone, Earth block, and tree seem about the same hardness. You can use a stone Pick/Axe on those easily but you need to use an Iron pick/axe on "ores", like coal, etc, to keep from destroying them.
