ne World Warmity test. The Geoffrey During World War II, the Manhattan Project developed the first nuclear weapon and detonate it in 1945 at the Trinity test. The explosive yield of the bomb was classified by the Us! however, in 1950 British physicist Sir Geoffrey Taylor made a good estimate of the vield on publicly available photographs and data. He developed an equation that linked seven aspects of the test and used it to calculate the yield: vel slp! R is the blast radius in meters; 7 is the time in seconds after the detonation, p (the Greek letter! rho) is the air density at the blast site; S is a constant describing the heat capacity of the air, and E is the energy released by the bomb in joules. (1 joule (J) = 18m). From the available atmospheric data, Taylor concluded that S = 1.041 and p = 1.000 By studying a picture of the blast taken att = 0.025, he estimated that the blast radius was 140 meters. Explosive yield is often described by how much TNT would be required to produce a similar explosion. The explosive force of 1 kiloton (kt) of TNT is approximately 4.184 x 10" joules. 26. Rearrange Taylor's equation to give you a formula for the yield of the bomb in kilotons. Hint: Remember that in the original equation E is in joules. ne World Warmity test.
