No I did not learn physics in shcool, I was taught them in school.
This is a hypothetical question of course. One that would depend on geology as well as physics. I have no clue as to what pressures cause one rock to be pressed into another and so on. So alas I was thinking along the lines of a rock type planet. There has to be a maximum size one could be before it could not support its own weight.
