Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Force of Impact on a Sphere Striking a Water Surface
This paper furnishes an explicit mathematical treatment of the impact forces on a projectile with a spherical nose entering water vertically. On the basis of the results obtained, a less technical memorandum will follow stressing the more intuitive physical aspects of the problem. In addition, an extension of the theory to the problem of oblique entry is being considered.
