For simplicity, assume that the stone is a perfect sphere, comprised of homogeneous ice, at 0° C.

Density of ice at 0° C = 0.92 g/ml

Weight = mass x gravity = 9.807 x mass (newtons)

Volume of a sphere = 4/3 pi R3 = 4/3 pi (8.5)3 = 4/3 pi (8.5 x 2.54)3 = 42,154.75 cm3

Mass = 0.92 x 42,154.75 = 38.7824 Kg

Weight = 380.3 Newtons (85.5 pounds)
