Monolith from 2001

[Dan Dixon]

I'm adding the monolith object from Arthur C. Clarke's Space Odyssey series of novels and films to the objects list:

Does anyone have thoughts on what it's default mass should be?

Its size will be 37 x 148 x 333 cm.

But if it's density is similar to air then it only weights about 2 kg.

Of course you'll be able to scale the size and change the mass, but what should the defaults be?

I think something around lead or iron density. But I don't think thats how it would be... idk

Try to find average density of Obsidian and couldn't find anything. I guess since it's usually made of different stuff it's not always the same.

About the density of cast iron.

Looks like 2.6 g/cm^3 (or ~2600 kg/m^3)

Now how come when I googled that I did not get all that. :|

Maybe you typed obsidian density instead of density of obsidian.
