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.
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).
If the two men are applying forces in different directions on the stone, the resultant force will depend on the magnitudes and directions of the individual forces. If the 5 healthy men are applying a combined force in one direction, their collective force will determine the resultant reaction on the stone. The resultant reaction will be the sum of all the forces acting on the stone, taking into account both magnitude and direction.
To move a 5kg stone for 1km, you would need to overcome both the force of friction and the force required to lift the stone against gravity. The force needed would depend on the surface and incline. The total force required can be calculated using the work-energy principle.
In order for the frictional force to come into play the block must be moving or on the verge of moving. The Frictional force opposes the motion of the block or its "impending" motion. If the block is just sitting on a table with no horizontal forces trying to get it moving then the frictional force is zero.
You would use a scale to measure the mass of a block. Place the block on the scale and record the reading to determine its mass.
Balanced .
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
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.
stone fighting! like using a stone to aim for the indoors.
A typical stone block used in the construction of the Great Pyramid of Giza would weigh around 2.5 tons on average. However, the exact weight can vary depending on the size and location of the stone within the pyramid.
Then more than likely you need a new block. I would advise against trying to have it repaired.
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.

Conductor. You're trying to move heat, not block it.

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.
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.
