So we all know about how tall they are. But here's the real

Hard to say, horse world physics are broken.

They are whatever is convenient to the story at that given moment to pull off cartoon shenanigans

>>30877266
146-290 lbs (around as much as one anon)

>>30877463
Nah, they must be lighter
That and/or the gravity of Equestria is weaker than on Earth, which makes pegasi (and building-sized dragons) able to fly

There's a scene where Fluttershy crushes an apple with just her weight. If you can find the pressure it takes to crush an apple and simulate Fluttershy applying force on it in solidworks or something you can get a minimum weight.

>>30877700
i almost certain solidworks doesn't have apple as a material option, let alone fruits.

you could also try using Archimedes principal, but i doubt the animators do when animating.

>>30877700
I might be able to crush an apple by standing on it, but certainly not to the extent that Fluttershy did. Then there was the time that Applejack launched RD over the horizon, or the time RD smashed her eyeballs through a tree.
>cartoon physics

>>30877890
Yeah, ponies are strong
If you want to go to the extreme there's also Maud that digs through rocks as if it was butter (and even then, I don't see a human digging through butter at the speed at which she digged through that granite)
There's also Dash chopping trees in sleepless in ponyville

Either ponies have superhuman strength, or their world works differently and makes us think so
See the Anon in pencils' comic, any of us could actually be as strong as him in horseland, or maybe not AS STRONG but still really, really strong

or it's just a cartoon and we're being autistic about it

>>30877700
Literally a cartoon.

>>30877242
I remember one scene from a S01 episode where Twilight lifts Rarity, to search around her, then she drops her and Rarity lifts a huge cloud dust when she touches the ground, aka she was HEAVY.

I think it was from the sick phoenix episode.

>>30877242
I would think their weigh would vary a lot more dependent on their species. Earth ponies would be the heaviest, unicorns would be lighter, and I would think Pegasi would be the lightest to allow them to fly.

>>30877242
Because ponies can swim, that puts an upper lever on their density. Now, what is a pony's volume?

>>30877242
Earth Ponies would weigh the most due to thick muscles and dense bones
Unicorns would be average
Pegasi would be the lightest because they would need to have lithe muscles and hollow bones
Alicorns are in a league all their own

now the question is, WHY can't Scootaloo fly?
Bulk Biceps/Snowflake has wigs that are literally the same size as hers, yet he's easily 5-8 times her size

Earth ponies: 85-100kg
Unicorns: 80-95kg
Pegasu: 70-80kg

>>30878450
Interdasting. Well they're probably about 3.5-4ft tall, yea? You could probably just presume their length to be similar. But how wide should they be at their fattest point? 1ft? Figure out the volume of a poneoid, multiply it by like .6 or .7 to make up for all the empy space you ignored, then come up with a ballpark estimate.

>>30877242
I'd say around the the weight of a large doggo like a German shepherd on average, so like 80-90Ibs.

>>30878450
>>30878640
So what? It really just means that they can't weigh hundreds of pounds.

>>30877890
I would say it's cartoon physics/ cartoon animation.
Or in some cases maybe talent related magic? Like AJ bucking trees would completely destroy them if she was just using her strength and not magic there. Or Maud hooves would turn into dust if she kicked rock hard enough to destroy it.

>>30877700
It depends, if apple is ripe you can do it just putting pressure on it with your hand

>>30877831
I believe you can set it to custom material with matching properties to that of an apple. Hell, you don't even need the apple just increase the density of the pony model until the force of the hoof pressing down is enough.

Earth ponies just don't have wings or magic, get over it, anon. I can even argue they would be lighter without the extra body parts. Hollow bones or weight doesn't matter squat when walk on clouds or account for their impressive strength.

Anyway, fliers like Celestia and Spitfire have displayed their mass before when landing.

Their momentum, not their mass. Maybe Celestia was just falling really fast.

>>30877242
But we don't know their height. You can make up charts all you want use exaggerated cartoon portions. Until a human is in the show, it's not canon.

>>30879328
You still need mass if you aren't chucking something at light speed. Otherwise you'd make a loud smack when hitting the ground but you aren't going to display much around you.

Yes.

>>30879335
You don't need a human, use the apple scale.

>>30878841
but do apples have uniform density and consistency? the material properties may vary between each kind of apple.

It may be easier to perform an actual experiment on an actual apple.
Fluttershy gradually applied weight until the apple crushed; get an apple and slowly stack weights on top of it until in crushes and measure the final magnitude required.

They weigh 40 tons.

Hasn't the show established that pegasus flight is powered by magic?

>>30879960
Nah, only the fact that they can play with clouds and walk on them and so 'control the weather'

I mean, you might be right, everything is magic in Equestria anyway, but they never claimed it so...

>>30879960
When, Tirek took their magic, they lost the ability to fly as well.
The sphinx pyramid curse magic disabled flight magically.
hyper magical alicorn foal could fly almost instantly

I think it is magic related.

>>30880016
You're not wrong, but
>hyper magical alicorn foal could fly almost instantly
So could Pumpkin Cake, or Pound Cake, whichever one it was.

>>30880016
Well, to be fair, when tirek took their magic they lost the ability to do anything
They could barely move, had even a hard time to stand
And not just pegasi

>Sphinx
idk, don't really see how that has to do with anything
I'm sure twiggy knows spells to stop ponies from using their hooves, doesn't mean that they use magic to walk around
