The giant wall being push by ottos machine[]
First, I'm going to determine the general speed at which the wall is falling after being thrown, which will be going off of the speed at which an object falls on an the ground from the height that its thrown. I'll be using 3 meters for this since he's holding it above his head and this detail would alter so slightly under hard specifics.
The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 meters per second and the object is travelling 3 meters downward at a starting velocity of 0
By the time it hits the ground, its final velocity is 7.66812 meters per second. From there, it's as simple as determining kinetic energy for the mass of the thrown wall. I'll use the low end and the high end. Low end: 306,424,678,736.15 Joules, City Block level+
High end: 307,467,965,098.97 Joules, or City Block level+

The Mass calculation[]
According to this statement, the gravity well of the miniature star had already reached a point where it was pulling in "anything that wasn't nailed down" throughout the whole of New York City, and the scene visibly shows it pulling in cars, so I'm gonna attempt to calculate the weight of that. For the sake of a low-ball, I'll just do every vehicle, every human, and every sign, since those are the things directly shown to be pulled in, besides the building directly surrounding it, which was closer than Spider-Man to the center of the gravity well. As a high-ball, I'll factor in a lot of other lighter things that should also be pulled in that there is an abundance of in the city, such as food, pets, and other animals.
According to this PDF, over 2 million cars are owned by the residents of New York City. https://www.autolist.com/guides/average-weight-of-car According to this article, the average weight of a car is 4,094 pounds. I know this is in 2021, as well, but it also mentions that it went down since last year, and it's pretty hard to determine what the average weight would've been back in 2004 or whenever, so we're going with this. 4094 × 2000000 = 8192000000 pounds, or 4094000 tons.
According to this page, there were an estimated 8,104,079 residents of NYC in 2004.
According to the CDC, the average American weighs 181 pounds. 181 × 8104079 = 1466838299 pounds, or 7334191.5 tons.
According to this PDF, the average bus weight in NYC should be around 26,500 pounds. 4373 × 26500 = 115884500 pounds, or 57942.25 tons.
According to these, the average signpost weighs 16 pounds.
According to this, sign mounting hardware weighs about 0.1 pounds. (16 + 6.4 + 0.1) × 250000 = 5625000 pounds, or 2812.5 tons. Low-ball: 22,977,892,500 pounds, or 11,488,946.25 tons.
According to this, roughly 5,700,000 tons of food enters NYC yearly. This means roughly 15616.5 tons of food is in NYC at any given day.
According to this, there are an estimated over 2 million rats in New York City.
According to this, the average NYC rat just weighs around one pound, so 2,000,000 pounds, or 1,000 tons.
According to this, there are roughly 600,000 pet dogs and 500,000 pet cats in New York City.
According to this, the average domestic cat weighs about 9 pounds, so 4,500,000 pounds, or 2,250 tons.
I found conflicting results about which dog was the most common in New York City, but according to AKC, the most common dog is the Labrador Retriever, and it's also one of the most common in New York City, so I'm using that for the weight.

According to this site, the average lab should weigh around 67.5 pounds, so 40,500,000 pounds, or 20,250 tons.
High-ball: 23,056,125,500 pounds, or 11,528,062.75 tons. Class M
Note: The low-ball and the high-ball aren't too far off, so it probably would be a waste of time to add in more things like this, although it's worth noting that there's much more than just these things, so it's really still a low-end rather than a high-end, but it probably wouldn't be significantly higher, so it would be kinda absurd to factor in all in.
