Explosion question

[Delusionaltx2]

Lets say you calced the shockwave of an explosion to be capable of producing 300N of force while its 8 meters away from its epicenter.

Could you use ISL to figure out the amount of force the shockwave can produce at its epicenter? And how?

You mean Joules? I don't know why you'd be calculating the force of a shockwave instead of the energy.

You can't calculate it at the epicentre cause it'd just equal 0. But you could calculate it closer to the epicentre, which would lead to absurdly high numbers.

So no.

no I mean newtons/kgf

cause shockwave pressure is a way to get LS

Yeah, well, the answer stays the same, sadly.

Yeah, well, the answer stays the same, sadly.

then how close to the epicenter?

a centimeter?

No, because that leads to absurdly inflated numbers. It's undefined. At the epicentre, it's infinite, and the closer you get to the centre, the larger the number you get.
