A good estimate for the density of rock is about 1.5 tons per cubic meter. For a 10,000 ton rock this would give a volume of about 6,700 cubic meters. If the rock is spherical the diameter will be roughly 23 meters or 75 feet. This is close to official esitmates fo 65 feet for the object. Given the magnitude of the explosion, claims that the Chelyabinsk meteor was 10 tons are absurd.
