PREFACE. 


This  work  is  intended,  primarily,  as  a  text-book  for 
the  use  of  the  officers  under  instruction  at  the  U.  S. 
Artiller}^  School,  and  the  arrangement  of  the  matter  has 
been  made  with  reference  to  the  wants  of  the  class-room. 
The  aim  has  been  to  present  in  one  volume  the  various 
methods  for  calculating  range-tables  and  solving  impor- 
tant problems  relating  to  trajectories,  which  are  in  vogue 
at  the  present  day,  developed  from  the  same  point  of 
view  and  with  a  uniform  notation.  The  convenience  of 
this  is  manifest. 

It  is  hoped,  also,  that  the  practical  artillerist  will  find 
here  all  that  he  may  require  either  for  computing  range- 
tables  for  the  guns  already  in  use,  or  for  determining 
in  advance  the  ballistic  efficiency  of  those  which  may 
be  proposed  in  the  future.

EXTERIOR  BALLISTICS 

IN  THE  PLANE  OF  FIRE. 


INTRODUCTION. 


Definition  and  Object. — Ballistics,  from  the  Greek 
l^aUw,  I  throw,  is,  in  its  most  general  signification,  the 
science  which  treats  of  the  motion  of  heavy  bodies  pro- 
jected into  space  in  any  direction ;  but  its  meaning  is  usu- 
ally restricted  to  the  motion  of  projectiles  of  regular  form 
fired  from  cannon  or  small  arms. 

The  motion  of  a  projectile  may  be  studied  under  three 
different  aspects,  giving  rise  to  as  many  different  branches 
of  the  subject,  called  respectively  Interior  Ballistics,  Ex- 
terior Ballistics,  and  Ballistics  of  Penetration, 

1.  Interior  Ballistics.— Interior  Ballistics  treats  of 
the  motion  of  a  projectile  within  the  bore  of  the  gun  while 
it  is  acted  upon  by  the  highly  elastic  gases  into  which  the 
powder  is  converted  by  combustion.  Its  object  is  to  deter- 
mine by  calculation  the  velocity  of  translation  and  rotation 
which  the  combustion  of  a  given  charge  of  powder  of 
known  constituents  and  quality  is  capable  of  imparting  to 
a  projectile,  and  the  effect  upon  the  gun. 

2.  Exterior  Ballistics. — Exterior  Ballistics  considers 
the  circumstances  of  motion  of  a  projectile  from  the  time 
it  emerges  from  the  gun  until  it  strikes  the  object  aimed 
at.  Its  data  are  the  shape,  caliber,  and  weight  of  the  pro- 
jectile, its  initial  velocity  both  of  translation  and  of  rotation.

the  resistance  it  meets  from  the  air,  and  the  action  of  grav- 
ity. 

3.  Ballistics  of  Penetration. — This  branch  of  the 
subject  has  reference  to  the  effect  of  the  projectile  upon 
an  object;  the  data  being  the  energy  and  incHnation  with 
which  the  projectile  strikes  the  object,  the  nature  of  the  re- 
sistance it  encounters,  etc. 

The  above  is  not  the  order  in  which  the  three  divisions 
of  the  subject  are  usually  presented  to  the  practical  artil- 
lerist, but  the  reverse.  He  desires  to  penetrate  or  destroy 
a  given  object — say  the  side  of  an  armored  ship.  Ballistics 
of  penetration  enables  him  to  determine  the  minimum  en- 
ergy which  his  projectiles  must  have  on  impact,  and  the 
proper  striking  angle,  to  accomplish  the  desired  result. 
Exterior  Ballistics  would  then  carry  the  data  from  the  ob- 
ject to  be  struck  to  the  gun,  and  determine  the  necessary 
initial  velocity  and  angle  of  elevation.  Lastly,  Interior 
Ballistics  would  ascertain  the  proper  charge  and  kind  of 
powder  to  be  used  to  give  the  projectile  the  initial  velocity 
demanded. 

The  following  pages  treat  only  of  Exterior  Ballistics; 
and  this  subject  will  be  limited,  at  present,  to  motion  in  the 
vertical  plane  passing  through  the  axis  of  the  piece. 


CHAPTER   I. 

RESISTANCE   OF   THE  AIR. 

Preliminary  Considerations. — The  molecular  the- 
ory of  gases  is  not  yet  sufficiently  developed  to  be  made 
the  basis  for  calculating  the  resistance  which  a  projectile 
experiences  in  passing  through  the  air.  We  know,  how- 
ever, that  if  a  body  moves  in  a  resisting  medium,  fluid  or 
gaseous,  the  particles  of  the  fluid  must  be  displaced  to  allow 
the  body  to  pass  through  ;  and  hence  momentum  will  be 
communicated  to  them,  which  must  be  abstracted  from  the 
moving  body.  From  the  assumed  equality  of  momenta 
lost  and  gained  Newton  deduced  the  law  of  the  square  of 
the  velocity  to  express  the  resistance  of  the  air  to  the  mo- 
tion of  a  body  moving  in  it. 

The  following,  which  is  the  ordinary  demonstration, 
supposes  the  particles  of  air  against  which  the  body  im- 
pinges to  be  at  rest,  and  takes  no  account  of  the  reaction  of 
the  molecules  upon  each  other,  nor  of  their  friction  against 
the  surface  of  the  body.  The  result  will  therefore  be  but  an 
approximation,  which  must  be  estimated  at  its  true  value  by 
means  of  well-devised  and  accurately-executed  experiments. 

Normal  Resistance  to  the  Motion  of  a  Body 
presenting  a  Plane  Surface  to  the  Medium.— Let 
a  moving  body  present  to  the  particles  of  a  fluid  against 
which  it  impinges,  and  which  are  supposed  to  be  at  rest,  a 
plane  surface  whose  area  is  5,  and  which  is  normal  to  the 
direction  of  motion.  Let  w  be  the  weight  of  the  moving 
body,  V  its  velocity  at  any  time  t,  d  the  weight  of  an  unit- 
volume  of  the  fluid,  and  ^  the  acceleration  of  gravity.  The 
plane  5  will  describe  in  an  element  of  time  dt  a  path  v  d  t, 
and  displace  a  volume  of  fluid  Svdt ;  therefore  the  mass 

of  fluid  put  in  motion  during  the  element  of  time  is-  Svdt. 


8  EXTERIOR   BALLISTICS. 

And  as  this  moves   with  the  velocity  v,  its  momentum   is 

—  Sv'dt;  and  this  has  been  abstracted   from  the  moving 

body,  whose  velocity   has  thereby  been  decreased  by  dv. 
Therefore

g  g 

or  IV  dv       b  ^   ^ 

~  -  -y-  =  -  5  z/" 
g  dt      g 

The  first  member  of  this  last  equation  is  the  momentum- 
decrement  of  the  body,  due  to  the  pressure  of  the  fluid 
upon  the  plane  face  5,  and  is  therefore  a  measure  of  this 
pressure.     Calling  this  latter  P,  we  have 


_,  w  dv       <5    -    , 

g  dt        g 


or,  per  unit  of  mass, 

w  dt       w 

As  before  stated,  several  circumstances  have  been  omit- 
ted in  this  investigation  ^vhich,  if  taken  into  account,  would 
probably  increase  the  pressure  somewhat,  at  least  for  high 
velocities.  We  will  therefore  introduce  into  the  second 
member  of  the  above  equation  an  undetermined  multiplier 
k  {k  y  i),  and  we  have 

P  =  k-Sv'  .. 

g  (0 

The  pressure  is,  therefore,  proportional  to  the  area  of 
the  plane  surface,  to  the  density  of  the  medium,  and  to  the 
square  of  the  velocity. 

If  in  equation  (i)  we  make  5=1,  the  second  member 
will  then  express  the  normal  pressure  upon  an  unit-surface 
moving  with  the  velocit}^  v;  calling  this /o,' we  have 

and

Oblique  Motion. — If  the  surface  5  is  oblique  to  the 
direction  of  motion,  let  f  be  the  angle  which  the  normal  to 
the  plane  makes  with  that  direction  ;  and  resolve  the  velo- 
city 7.'  into  its  components  v  cos  f,  perpendicular,  and  v  sin  f, 
parallel,  to  vS.  This  last,  neglecting  friction,  having  no  re- 
tarding effect,  we  have  for  the  normal  pressure  upon  5  the 
expression 

P=/^-'z^''5cos' 6=/o  5cos'f  / 

Poncelet  {Mecanique  Industrielle,  403)  cites  the  following 
empirical  formula  for  calculating  the  normal  pressure,  viz.  : 

i"fsec'  e  ^  ' 

derived  by  Colonel  Duchemin  from  the  experiments  of 
Vince,  Hutton,  and  Thibault.  As  this  expression  satisfied 
the  whole  series  of  experiments  upon  which  it  was  based 
better  than  any  other  that  was  proposed,  we  will  adopt  it  in 
what  follows. 

Pressvire  on  a  Surface  of 
Revolution. — Let  A  D  B,  Fig. 
I,  be  the  generating  curve  of  a 
surface  of  revolution,  which  we 
will  suppose  moves  in  a  resisting 
medium  in    the    direction   of  its 
axis,^_(9  A.     \{  m  in'  in"  =  <^5  be 
an  element  of  the  surface,  inclined  ^ 
to  the  direction  of  motion  by  the 
angle  Ninv=^e,  it  will  suffer  a 
pressure  in  the  direction  of  the 
normal  N in,  equal,  by  (2),  to 
2p,dS

to  OA,  it  is  plain  that  this  last  will  be  destroyed  by  an 
equal  and  contrary  pressure  upon  the  elementary  surface 
n  n'  n"  situated  in  the  same  meridional  section  as  ;;/  in'  m" ,  and 
making  the  same  angle  with  the  direction  of  motion.  It  is 
only  necessary,  therefore,  to  consider  the  first  component, 

2p^d  S  cos  £ 
I  +  sec'  e 

It  is  evident  that  expressions  identical  with  this  last  are 
applicable  to  every  element  of  the  zone  ;//  m'  n  n'  described 
by  the  revolution  of  m  in' ;  and  we  may,  therefore,  extend 
this  so  as  to  include  the  entire  zone  by  substituting  its  area 
for  dS.  If  we  take  O  A  for  the  axis  of  A'',  this  area  will  be 
expressed  by  2  it  yds,  in  which  ds  is  an  element  of  the  gene- 
rating curve ;  therefore,  the  pressure  upon  any  elementary 
zone  will  be 

,  y  ds  cos  f

Substituting  —  dy  for  ds  cos  f ,  and  2  -|-  -r-,  for  i  -\-  sec*  e,  and 

integrating  between  the  limits  4-  =  /,  and  x^o,  we  have 

/'    y<iy 

As.  all  service  projectiles  are  solids  of  revolution,  this 
last  equation  may  be  used  to  calculate  the  relative  pressures 
sustained  by  projectiles  having  differently  shaped  heads,  sup- 
posing their  axes  to  coincide  with  the  direction  of  motion  at 
each  instant.  In  appl3nng  the  formula,  y  will  be  eliminated 
by  means  of  the  equation  of  the  generating  curve.  The 
superior  limit  of  integration  (/)  will  be  the  length  of  the 
head.     R  will  denote  the  radius  of  the  projectile.

Resistance  of  the  Air  to  the  Motion  of  Ogival- 
heacled  Projectiles. — The  expression 

P=7zR'p,F(n) 
which,  by  substituting  for/^  its  value,  becomes 

g 
serves  to  determine  the  pressure,  as  deduced  by  the  above 
theory,  upon  an  ogival  head ;  and  requires  that  this  pressure 
should  be  proportional  to  the  density  of  the  air,  to  the  area 
of  the  cross-section  of  the  body  of  the  projectile,  and  to  the 
square  of  the  velocity.  The  truth  of  the  first  two  of  these 
deductions  may  be  considered  as  fully  established  by  expe- 
riment, and  is  admitted  by  all  investigators.  The  relation 
between  the  front  pressure  and  the  velocity  has  not  been 
satisfactorily  determined  by  experiment,  and  we  are  there- 
fore unable  to  verify  directly  the  law  of  the  square  deduced 
above.  It  seems  probable,  however,  from  experiments  made 
to  determine  the  resistance  of  the  air  to  the  motion  of  pro-

jectiles,  as  well  as  from  theory,  that  this  law  is  approxi- 
mately true  for  all  velocities.

It  is  evident  that  P'  will  be  zero  whenever  the  velocity 
of  the  projectile  is  greater  than  that  of  air  flowing  into  a 
vacuum.  In  this  case,  and  also  when  P'  is  so  small  rela- 
tively  to  P  that  it  may  be  neglected,   we    have   approxi-

Application  to  Ogival  Heads  struck  witli  Radii

that  for  practicable  velocities  exceeding  about  1300  f.  s.  the 
resistance  of  the  air  is  sensibly  proportional  to  the  square  of 
the  velocity ;  and  a  discussion  of  the  published  results  of 
Professor  Bashforth's  experiments  has  shown  that,  within 
the  above  limits,  the  resistance  to  elongated  projectiles 
having  ogival  heads  struck  with  radii  of  one  and  a  half  cali- 
bers may  be  approximately  expressed  by  the  equation,

in  which  d  is  the  diameter  of  the  projectile  in  inches,  ^  the 
acceleration  of  gravity  (32.19  ft.),  and  log  A  =  6,1525284  —

Making  b  =  534.22  grains,  which  is  the  weight  of  a  cubic 
foot  of  air  adopted  by  Professor  Bashforth,  and  F{n)=:F{^) 
=  0.3176,  we  find  for  the  corresponding  expression  for  P 

P  =  o.o%io6g  k  d' v' 

A  comparison  of  the  second  members  of  these  two  equa- 
tions seems  to  warrant  the  conclusion  that  for  velocities 
greater  than  about  1300  f.  s.,  the  rear  pressure  is  either  zero 
or  so  small  relatively  to  the  front  pressure  that  it  may  be

neglected  without  sensible  error.     Equating  the  two  mem- 
bers, we  find  for  velocities  greater  than  1300  f.  s.

In  the  following  table  the  first  and  second  columns  give 
the  velocities  and  corresponding  resistances,  in  pounds,  to 
an  elongated  projectile  one  inch  in  diameter  and  having  an 
ogival  head  of  one  and  a  half  calibers.  They  were  deduced 
from  Bashforth's  experiments  by  Professor  A.  G.  Greenhill, 
and  are  taken  from  his  paper  published  in  the  Proceedings 
of  the  Royal  Artillery  Institution,  No.  2,  Vol.  XIII.  The 
third  column  contains  the  corresponding  pressures  upon  the 
head  of  the  projectile  computed  by  the  formula 

576^ 
in  which  the  constants  have  the  values  already  given.     The 
fourth  and  fifth  columns  are  sufficiently  indicated  by  their 
titles. 

These  results  are  reproduced  graphically  in  Plate  I. 
A  is  the  curve  of  resistance  (^),  drawn  by  taking  the  velo- 
cities for  abscissas  and  the  corresponding  resistances,  in 
pounds,  for  ordinates.  This  curve  is  similar  to  that  given 
by  Professor  Greenhill  in  his  paper  above  cited.  B  is  the 
curve  of  front  pressures  (P),  and  is  a  parabola  whose  equa- 
tion is  given  above.  It  will  be  seen  that  while  the  velocity 
decreases  from  2800  f.  s.  to  1300  f  s.,  the  two  curves  closely 
approximate  to  each  other;  the  differences  (P— />)  for  the 
same  abscissas  being  relatively  small  and  alternately  plus 
and  minus.  As  the  velocity  still  further  decreases,  the  curve 
of  resistance  falls  rapidly  below  the  parabola  B,  showing 
that  the  resistance  now  decreases  in  a  higher  ratio  than  the 
square  of  the  velocity.  This  continues  down  to  about  800 
f.  s.,  when  the  parabolic  form  of  the  curve  is  again  resumed, 
but  still  below  B.  The  differences  P—  p  from  z/=  1300  f.  s. 
to  2/=  100  f  s.  are  shown  graphically  by  the  curve  (7,  which 
may  represent,  approximately,  the  rear  pressures  iox  decreas- 
ing velocities,  and  possibly  account,  in  a  measure,  for  the

CHAPTER   11. 

EXPERIMENTAL  RESISTANCE. 

Notable  Experiments. — Benjamin  Robins  was  the 
first  to  execute  a  systematic  and  intelligent  series  of  experi- 
ments to  determine  the  velocity  of  projectiles  and  the  effect 
of  the  resistance  of  the  air,  not  only  in  retarding  but  in  de- 
flecting them  from  the  plane  of  fire.  He  was  the  inventor 
of  the  ballistic  pendulum,  an  instrument  for  measuring  the 
momenta  of  projectiles  and  thence  their  velocities.  He  also 
invented  the  Whirling  Machine  for  determining  the  resistance 
of  air  to  bodies  of  different  forms  moving  with  low  velo- 
cities. His  *'  New  Principles  of  Gunnery,"  containing  the 
results  of  his  labors,  was  published  in  1742,  and  immediately 
attracted  the  attention  of  the  great  Euler,  who  translated  it 
into  French. 

The  next  series  of  experiments  of  any  value  were  made 
toward  the  close  of  the  last  century  by  Dr.  Hutton,  of  the 
Royal  Military  Academy,  Woolwich.  He  improved  the 
apparatus  invented  by  Robins,  and  used  heavier  projectiles 
with  higher  velocities.  His  experiments  showed  that  the 
resistance  is  approximately  proportional  to  the  square  of 
the  diameter  of  the  projectile,  and  that  it  increases  more 
rapidly  than  the  square  of  the  velocity  up  to  about  1440  f.  s., 
and  nearly  as  the  square  of  the  velocity  from  1440  f.  s.  to 
1968  f.  s. 

In  1839  ^"<^  1840  experiments  were  conducted  at  Metz, 
on  a  hitherto  unprecedented  scale,  by  a  commission  ap- 
pointed by  the  French  Minister  of  War,  consisting  of  MM. 
Piobert,  Morin,  and  Didion.  They  fired  spherical  projec- 
tiles weighing  from  11  to  50  pounds,  with  diameters  varying 
from  4  to  8.7  inches,  into  a  ballistic  pendulum,  at  distances 
of  15,40,65,90,  and   115  metres;  by  this  means  velocities 


I8  EXTERIOR   BALLISTICS. 

were  determined  at  points  25,  50,  75,  and  100  metres  apart, 
the  velocities  varying  from  200  to  600  metres  per  second. 

From  these  experiments  General  Didion  deduced  a  law 
of  resistance  expressed  by  a  binomial,  one  term  of  which  is 
proportional  to  the  square,  and  the  other  to  the  cube,  of  the 
velocity.  This  gave  good  results  for  short  ranges  ;  but  with 
heavy  charges  and  high  angles  of  projection  the  calculated 
ranges  were  much  greater  than  the  observed. 

Another  series  of  experiments  was  made  at  Metz,  in  the 
years  1856,  1857,  and  1858,  by  means  of  the  electro-ballistic 
pendulum  invented  by  Captain  Navez,  of  the  Belgian  Artil- 
lery. This,  unlike  the  ballistic  pendulum,  affords  the  means 
of  measuring  the  velocity  of  the  same  projectile  at  two 
points  of  its  trajectory.  The  results  of  these  elaborate  ex- 
periments may  be  briefly  stated  as  follows:  The  resistance 
for  a  velocity  of  320  m.  s.  does  not  differ  sensibly  from  that 
deduced  from  the  previous  experiments  at  Metz;  but  the 
resistances  decrease  with  the  velocity  below  320  m.  s.,  and 
increase  with  the  velocity  above  320  m.  s.,  more  rapidly  than 
resulted  from  the  former  experiments.  The  commission 
having  charge  of  these  experiments,  whose  president  was 
Colonel  Virlet,  expressed  the  resistance  of  the  air  by  a 
single  term  proportional  to  the  cube  of  the  velocity  for  all 
velocities. 

In  1865  the  Rev.  Francis  Bashforth,  M.A.,  who  had  then 
been  recently  appointed  Professor  of  Applied  Mathematics 
to  the  advanced  class  of  artillery  officers  at  Woolwich, 
began  a  series  of  experiments  for  determining  the  resistance 
of  the  air  to  the  motion  of  both  spherical  and  oblong  projec- 
tiles, which  he  continued  from  time  to  time  until  1880.  As 
the  instruments  then  in  use  for  measuring  velocities  were 
incapable  of  giving  the  times  occupied  by  a  shot  in  passing 
over  a  series  of  successive  equal  spaces,  he  began  his  labors 
by  inventing  and  constructing  a  chronograph  to  accomplish 
this  object,  which  was  tried  late  in  1865  in  Woolwich 
Marshes,  with  ten  screens,  and  with  perfect  success.  It  was 
afterwards  removed   to  Shoeburyness,  where  most  of  his 


EXTERIOR   BALLISTICS.  I9 

subsequent  experiments  were  made.  He  employed  rifled 
guns  of  3,  5,  7,  and  9-inch  calibers,  and  elongated  shot  hav- 
ing ogival  heads  struck  with  radii  of  i^  calibers;  also 
smooth-bore  guns  of  similar  calibers  for  firing  spherical 
shot.  From  the  data  derived  from  these  experiments  he 
constructed  and  published,  from  time  to  time,  extensive 
tables  connecting  space  and  velocity,  and  time  and  velocity, 
which  for  accuracy  and  general  usefulness  have  never  been 
excelled.  The  first  of  these  tables  was  published  in  1870, 
and  his  Final  Report,  containing  coefficients  of  resistance 
for  ogival-headed  shot,  for  velocities  extending  from  2800 
f.  s.  to  JOG  f.  s.,  was  published  in  1880.  These  experiments 
will  be  noticed  more  in  detail  further  on. 

General  Mayevski  conducted  some  experiments  at  St. 
Petersburg,  in  1868,  with  spherical  projectiles,  and  in  the 
following  year  with  ogival-headed  projectiles,  supplement- 
ing these  latter  with  the  experiments  made  by  Bashforth  in 
1867  with  9-inch  shot.  An  account  of  these  experiments, 
with  the  results  deduced  therefrom,  is  given  in  his  "  Traite 
Balistique  Exterieure,"  Paris,  1872. 

General  Mayevski  has  recently  (1882)  published  the  re- 
sults of  a  discussion  of  the  extensive  experiments  made  at 
Meppen  in  1881  with  the  Krupp  guns  and  projectiles. 
These  latter,  though  varying  greatly  in  caliber,  were  all 
sensibl}^  of  the  same  type,  being  mostly  3  calibers  in  length, 
with  an  ogive  of  2  calibers  radius.  General  Mayevski's 
results,  together  with  Colonel  HojeFs  still  more  recent  dis- 
cussion of  the  same  data,  will  be  noticed  again. 
-7?  Methods  of  Determining  Resistances. — If  a  prO'-* 
jectile  be  fired  horizontally,  the  path  described  in  the  first 
one  or  two  tenths  of  a  second  may,  without  sensible  error, 
be  considered  a  horizontal  right  line ;  and,  therefore,  what- 
ever loss  of  velocity  it  may  sustain  in  this  short  time  will  be 
due  to  the  resistance  of  the  air,  since  the  only  other  force 
acting  upon  the  projectile,  gravity^  may  be  disregarded,  as 
it  acts  at  right  angles  to  the  projectile's  motion.  For  ex- 
ample, an  8-inch  oblong  shell,  having  an  initial  velocity  of 


20  EXTERIOR    BALLISTICS. 

1400  f.  s.,  will  describe  a  horizontal  path,  in  the  first  two- 
tenths  of  a  second  after  leaving  the  gun,  of  278  ft.,  while  its 
vertical  descent  due  to  gravity  will  be  less  than  8  inches. 
Moreover,  if  its  velocity  should  be  measured  at  the  distance 
of  278  ft.  from  the  muzzle  of  the  gun,  it  would  be  found  to 
be  but  1380  f.  s.,  showing  a  loss  of  velocity  of  20  f.  s.,  due  to 
the  resistance  of  the  air. 

The  relation  between  the  horizontal  space  passed  over 
by  a  projectile  and  its  loss  of  velocity  may  be  determined 
as  follows  : 

Let  w  be  the  weight  of  the  projectile  in  pounds,  V  and 
V  its  velocities,  respectively,  at  the  distances^  and  a'  from 
the  muzzle  of  the  gun,  in  feet  per  second,  and  g  the  accele- 
ration of  gravity.     The  vis  viva  of  the  projectile  at  the  dis- 

.   wV"  zv  V" 

tance  a  from  the  gun  is ,  and  at  the  distance  a\ : 

^  g 

consequently  the  loss  of  vis  viva  in   describing  the   path 

vu 
a' —a^  is  -( F^—  V  ^) ;  and  this,  by  the  principle  of  vis  viva,  is 

equal  to  twice  the  work  due  to  the  resistance  of  the  air.  If 
the  distance  a'— a  is  not  too  great,  say  from  100  to  300  ft., 
according  to  the  velocity  of  the  projectile,  it  may  be  as- 
sumed that  for  this  distance  the  resistance  will  not  vary 
perceptibly ;  and  if  p  is  the  mean  resistance  for  this  short 
portion  of  the  trajectory,  we  shall  have 

'^{V'-V'^)  =  2{a'-a)p 
whence 

P-     2g{a'-a) 

As,  the  resistance  of  the  air  is  proportional  to  its  density, 
which  is  continually  varying,  it  is  necessary,  in  order  to 
compare  a  series  of  observations  made  at  different  times,  to 
reduce  them  all  to  some  mean  density  taken  as  a  standard. 
If  b  is  the  density  of  the  air  at  the  time  the  observations  are 
made,  and  b^  the  adopted  standard  density  to  which  the  ob- 


/'  =

servations  are  to   be  reduced,  the  second   member  of  the 
preceding  equation  shoidd  be  multipHed  by  ~^   which  gives 

'  2g{a'  —  a)    d 

We  may  take  for  the  value  of  (\  the  weight  of  a  cubic 
foot  of  air  at  a  certain  temperature  and  pressure;  o  will  then 
be  the  weight  of  an  equal  volume  of  air  at  the  time  of  mak- 
ing the  experiments,  as  determined  by  observations  of  the 
thermometer,  barometer,  and  hygrometer. 

As  ft  is  the  mean  resistance  for  the  distance  a^  —  a,  it  may

be  considered  proportional  to  the  mean  velocity,  v^ — ; 

and  substituting  this  in  the  above  expression,  it  becomes 

wv{V-V')  d,  , 

By  varying  the  charge  so  as  to  obtain  different  values 
for  Fand  V,  the  resistance  corresponding  to  different  ve- 
locities may  be  determined,  and  thence  the  /aw  of  resistance 
deduced. 

In  order  to  compare  the  results  obtained  with  projec- 
tiles of  different  calibers,  the  resistance  per  unit  of  surface 
(square  foot)  is  taken  ;  and,  to  make  the  results  less  sensible 
to  variations  of  velocity,  Didion  proposed  to  divide  the 
values  of  o  by  -J^  and  compare  the  quotients  (p')  instead  of 

/>.     Therefore,  making  ^t  — — ^2-^,  equation  (4)  becomes 

^      gTzF^via'  -a)  3  ^^^ 

It  will  be  observed  that  since  p  is  divided  by  ^'',  the 
values  of  f/  will  be  constant  when  the  resistance  varies  as 
the  square  of  the  velocity  ;  when  this  is  not  the  case  //  will 
evidentl}^  be  a  function  of  the  velocity;  or  f/  =  A' f{v) 
(suppose),  where  the  constant  A',  and  the  form  of  the  fune- 
tion,/(2/),  are  both  to  be  determined.

Two  assumptions  have  been  made  in  deducing  the  ex- 
pression for  (),  neither  of  which  is  exactly  correct:  ist,  that 
the  resistance  can  be  considered  constant  while  the  pro- 
jectile is  describing  the  short  path  a'  —  a ;  and,  2d,  that  this 
assumed  constant  resistance  is  that  due  to  the  mean  velo- 
city, V.  The  nature  of  the  error  thus  committed  may  be 
exhibited  as  follows: 

The  exact  expression  for  p  is 

w  dv  wv  dv

Comparing  this  with  (4),  it  will  be  seen  that  we  have  made 

\V-  V  _  _dv 
a'  —  a  ds 

which  is  true  only  when  the  path  described  by  the  projec- 
tile is  infinitesimal. 

To  determine  the  amount  of  error  committed,  we  can  re- 
calculate the  values  of//  by  means  of  the  law  of  resistance 
deduced  from  the  experiments;  and  it  will  be  found  that  in 
the  most  unfavorable  cases  the  two  sets  of  values  of />'  will 
not  differ  from  each  other  by  any  appreciable  amount.  For 
example,  suppose  the  law  of  resistance  deduced  by  this 
method  is  that  of  the  square  of  the  velocity  ;  what  is  the 
exact  expression  for  //  in  terms  of  F~  V  and  a  —  a?  We

case,

The  experiments  were  made  with  6  and  24-pdr.  guns 
and  120-pdr.  mortars,  and  the  velocities  ranged  from  745 
f.  s.  to  1729  f.  s.     At  least  eight  shots  were  fired  with   the

and  the  mean  of  all  the  values  of />'  so  calculated  was  taken 
as  corresponding  to  the  mean  velocity  of  all  the  shots  fired 
with  the  same  charge.  The  values  o^  a' —  a  varied  from 
164  ft.  to  492  ft.,  the  least  values  being  taken  for  the 
heaviest  charges,  and  the  greatest  values  for  the  smallest 
charges.  The  greatest  loss  of  velocity  {V  —  V)  was  131 
ft.,  and  the  least  33  ft. 

The  values  of  {/  deduced  from  these  experiments  are 
given  in  the  following  table.  For  convenience  English 
units  of  weight  and  length  are  employed ;  that  is,  the

These  results  are  reproduced  graphically  in  Fig.  3,  the 
velocities  being  taken  for  abscissas,  and  the  corresponding 
values  of//  for  ordinates.  It  will  be  seen  that  the  trend  ot 
the  last  seven  points  is  nearly  parallel  to  the  axis  of  ab-

by  the  right  line  A,  whose  equation  is

It   was   found   that  the   remaining  points  could  be  best 

represented    by  a   curve   B,  of  the   second   degree,   of  the

that  the  most  probable  values  of/  and  q  were^/  =  0.012

To  find  the  point  of  intersection  of  the  right  line  A  with 
the  curve  B,  equate  the  values  of />'  given  by  their  respective 
equations,  and  solve  with  reference  to  v.  It  will  be  found 
that  v^  1233  f.  s.,  at  which  velocity  we  assume  that  the  law 
of  resistance  changes. 

In  strictness  there  is  probably  but  one  laiv  of  resistance^ 
and  this  might  be,  perhaps,  expressed  by  a  very  complicated 
function  of  the  velocity,  having  variable  exponents  and  co- 
efficients, depending,  upon  the  ever- varying  density  of  the 
air,  the  cohesion  of  its  particles,  etc.  ;  but,  however  compli- 
cated it  may  be,  we  can  hardly  conceive  of  its  being  other 
than  a  continuous  function.  But,  owing  to  the  difficulties 
with  which  the  subject  is  surrounded,  both  experimental 
and  analytical,  it  is  usual  to  express  the  resistance  by  in- 
,  tegral  powers  of  the  velocity  and  constant  coefficients,  so 
chosen,  as  in  the  above  example,  as  to  represent  the  mean 
resistance  over  a  certain  range  of  velocity  determined  by 
experiment.

For  the  Russian  experiments  with  spherical  projectiles 
the  standard  density  of  air  to  which  the  experiments  were 
reduced  was  that  of  air  half  saturated  with  vapor,  at  a  tem- 
perature of  1 5°  C,  and  barometer  at  o"'. 75.  In  this  condition 
of  air  the  weight  of  a  cubic  metre  is  1^.206;  and,  therefore, 
the  weight  of  a  cubic  foot  ( =  o)  is  0.075283  lbs.  =  526.98  grs.

Colonel  Hojel's  Deductions  from  the  Krupp  Ex- 
periments.—Colonel  Hojel,  of  the  Dutch  Artillery,  has 
also  made  a  study  of  the  Krupp  experiments  discussed  by 
General  Mayevski :  and,  as  it  is  interesting  and  instructive 
to  compare  the  resistance  formulas  deduced  by  each  of  these 
two  experts,  both  using  the  same  data,  we  give  a  brief  syn- 
opsis of  Colonel  Hojel's  method  and  results. 

He  expresses  the  resistance  by  the  following  formula, 
easily  deduced  from  equation  (6): 

in  which,  from  (4), 

It  is  assumed  that  the  loss  of  velocit}^  V  —  V\  is  some  func- 
tion of  the  mean  velocity  v,  which  can  be  expressed  approx- 
imately, for  a  limited  range  of  velocity,  by  a  monomial  of  the 
form

method  of  procedure  is  analogous  to  that  followed  m  deter- 
mining fj',  and  need   not  be  repeated.     Colonel  Hojel  has 
considered   it    necessary    to   employ    fractional   exponents, 
thereby   sacrificing   simplicity   without  apparently  gaining 
in  accuracy.     The  results  he  arrived  at  are  as  follows:  "

Bashforth's  Coefficients. — Professor  Bashforth  adopt- 
ed an  entirely  different  method  from  that  just  developed  to 
determine  the  coefficients  of  resistance,  of  which  we  will 
give  an  outline,  referring  for  further  particulars  to  his 
work,*  which  is  well  known  in  this  country.

From  this  it  follows  that  if  the  resistance  varied  as  the  cube

whence,  integrating  twice, 

t  -=1  bs"  -\-  a  s  -\-  c 

which  is  the  relation  between  the  time  and  space  upon  this 
hypothesis.      When  the  resistance  is  not  proportional  to  the 

cube  of  the  velocity,     -    in  the  equation

will  be  variable,  and  its  value  must  be  so  determined  by  ex- 
periment as  to  satisfy  this  equation  for  each  value  of  v, 
Bashforth's  method  of  deducing  these  values  is  briefly  as 
follows  : 

Ten  screens  are  placed  at  equal  distances  (150  feet)  apart 
in  the  plane  of  fire,  and  the  exact  time  of  the  passage 
of  a  projectile  through  each  screen  is  measured  by  the 
Bashforth  chronograph.  The  first,  second,  third,  etc.,  dif- 
ferences of  these  observed  times  are  taken,  which  call 
d,,  d,,d,,  etc. 

Let  s  be  the  distance  the  projectile  has  moved  from 
some  assumed  point  to  any  one  of  the  screens,  say  the  first ;

/the  constant  distance  between  the  screens;  and  /,^  /,+/^  /,+2/, 
etc.,  the  observed  times  of  the  projectile's  passing  succes- 
sive screens.  Then  from  a  well-known  equation  of  finite 
differences  we  have

in  which  ;/  is  an  arbitrary  variable.  Arranging  the  second

Since  /  is  a  function  of  s,  we  have  t^—f{s)  and  t,^„i:= 
f{s  +  111).    Expanding  this  last  by  Taylor's  formula,  we  have 

,    dt,   nl  ,   dU,  n'l'  ^ 

whence,  equating  the  coefficients  of  the  first  and  second

Bashforth  substituted  for  them  a  coefficient  K,  defined  by 
the  equation 

A-=24J(.ooo)'. 

In  the  experiment  selected  above  the  weight  of  a  cubic 
foot  of  air  was  553.9  grains  =  (?,  while  the  standard  weight 
adopted  was  530.6  grains  =  d^.     Therefore  we  have

That  is  to  say,  when  the  velocity  of  a  spherical  projectile 
is  1811.4  f.  s.,  A"=ii6.i;  and  when  its  velocity  is  1465.3 
f.  s.,  A'=  139.6.  By  interpolation  the  values  of  K,  after 
having  been  determined  for  a  sufficient  number  of  velo- 
cities, are  arranged  in  tabular  form  with  the  velocity  as 
argument. 

Bashforth  determined  the  values  of  K  by  this  original 
and  beautiful  method  for  both  spherical  and  ogival-headed 
projectiles ;  and  for  the  latter  for  velocities  extending  from 
2900  f.  s.  down  to  100  f.  s.  The  experiments  upon  which 
they  were  based  were  made  under  his  own  direction  at 
various  times  between  1865  and  1879,  ^'ith  his  chronograph, 
probably  the  most  complete  and  accurate  instrument  for 
measuring  small  intervals  of  time  yet  invented. 

Law  of  Resistance  deduced  from  Bashforth's 
K. — It  will  be  seen,  by  examining  Bashforth's  table  of  A"  for 
ogival-headed  projectiles,  that  as  the  velocity  decreases 
from  2800  f.  s.  down  to  about  1300  f.  s.,  the  values  of  K 
gradually  increase,  then  become  nearly  constant  down  to 
about  ii3of.  s.,  then  rapidly  decrease  down  to  about  1030 
f.  s.,  become  nearly  constant  again  down  to  about  800  f.  s., 
and  then  gradually  increase  as  the  velocity  decreases,  to  the

limit  of  the  table.  These  variations  show  that  the  law  of 
resistance  is  not  the  same  for  all  velocities,  but  that  it 
changes  several  times  between  practical  limits.  We  may 
use  Bashforth's  K  for  determining  these  different  laws  of 
resistance  as  follows  :

These  expressions,  derived  as  they  are  from  Bashforth's 


EXTERIOR    15ATXISTICS.  37 

coefficients,  give  substantially  the  same  resistances  for  like 
velocities  as  those  computed  directly  by  means  of  equation 
(7).  The  agreement  between  the  two  for  high  velocities  is 
shown  graphically  by  Plate  I.,  in  which  A  is  Bashforth's 
curve  of  resistance,  while  that  part  of  the  parabola,  B,  com- 
prised between  the  limits  ^^2800  f.  s.  and  7'=  1330  f.  s.,  is 
the  curve  of  resistance  deduced  from  the  first  of  the  above 
expressions.  If,  hovvever,  we  compare  these  expressions 
with  those  deduced  by  Mayevski  or  Hojel  from  the  Krupp 
experiments,  it  will  be  found  that  these  latter  give  a  less 
resistance  than  the  former  for  all  velocities. 

This  is  undoubtedly  due  to  the  superior  centring  of  the 
projectiles  in  the  Krupp  guns  over  the  English,  and  to  the 
different  shapes  of  the  projectiles  used  in  the  two  series  of 
experiments,  particularly  to  the  difference  in  the  shapes  of 
the  heads.  The  English  projectiles,  as  we  have  seen,  had 
ogival  heads  struck  with  radii  of  i|  calibers,  while  those 
fired  at  Meppen  had  similar  heads  of  2  calibres,  and, 
therefore,  suffered  less  resistance  than  the  former  indepen- 
dently of  their  greater  steadiness. 

Comparison  of  Resistances. — Let  f)  and  {>^  be  the  re- 
sistances of  the  air  to  the  motion  of  two  different  projectiles

of  their  greatest  transverse  sections;  d  and  d^  their  dia- 
meters ;  and  D  and  D^  their  densities.  Then,  if  we  suppose, 
in  the  case  of  oblong  projectiles,  that  their  axes  coincide 
with  the  direction  of  motion,  we  shall  have  from  (6)  for  the 
same  velocity,  since  5  and  S^  are  proportional  to  the  squares 
of  their  diameters.

that  is,  for  spherical  projectiles  the  retardations  are  in- 
versely proportional  to  the  products  of  the  diameters  and 
densities.  This  shows  that  for  equal  velocities  the  loss  of 
velocity  in  a  unit  of  time  will  be  less,  and,  therefore,  the 
range  greater,  cceteris paribus,  the  greater  the  diameter  and 
density  of  the  projectile. 

As  the  weight  of  an  oblong  projectile  is  considerably 
greater  than  that  of  a  spherical  projectile  of  the  same  caliber 
and  material,  it  follows  that  the  retardation  of  the  former 
for  equal  velocities  is  much  less  than  the  latter,  indepen- 
dently of  the  ogival  form  of  the  head  of  an  oblong  projectile 
which  diminishes  the  resistance  still  more.  Indeed,  the  re 
tarding  effect  of  the  air  to  the  motion  of  a  standard  oblong 
projectile,  for  velocities  exceeding  1330  f.  s.,  is  less  than  for  a 
spherical  projectile  of  the  same  diameter  and  weight,  and 
moving  with  the  same  velocity,  in  the  ratio  of  14208  to 
20358.  As  an  example,  if  d  and  w  are  the  diameter  and 
weight  of  a  solid  spherical  cast-iron  shot  which  shall  suffer 
the  same  retardation  as  an  8-inch  oblong  projectile  weighing 
180  lbs.  and  moving  with  the  same  velocity,  we  shall  have,

CHAPTER   III. 

DIFFERENTIAL   EQUATIONS   OF   TRANSLATION — GENERAL 
PROPERTIES    OF   TRAJECTORIES. 

Preliiiiiiiary  Considerations.— A  projectile  fired  from 
a  gun  with  a  certain  initial  velocity  is  acted  upon  during  its 
flight  only  by  gravity  and  the  resistance  of  the  air;  the 
former  in  a  vertical  direction,  and  the  latter  along  the  tan- 
gent to  the  curve  described  by  the  projectile's  centre  of 
gravity.  It  will  be  assumed,  as  a  first  approximation,  that 
the  projectile,  if  spherical,  has  no  motion  of  rotation  ;  and, 
in  the  case  of  oblong  projectiles,  that  the  axis  of  the  pro- 
jectile lies  constantly  in  the  tangent  to  the  trajectory  ;  also 
that  the  air  through  which  it  moves  is  quiescent  and  of  uni- 
form densit}'.  xA.s  none  of  these  conditions  are  ever  fulfilled 
in  practice,  the  equations  deduced  will  only  give  what  may 
be  called  the  normal  trajectory^  or  the  trajectory  in  the  plane 
of  fire,  and  from  which  the  actual  trajectory  will  deviate 
more  or  less  It  is  evident,  however,  that  this  deviation 
from  the  plane  of  fire  is  relatively  small ;  that  is,  small  in 
comparison  with  the  whole  extent  of  the  trajectory,  owing 
to  the  very  great  density  of  the  projectile  as  compared  with 
that  of  the  air. 

Notation.— In  Figure  5,  let  (9,  the  point  of  projection, 
be  taken  for  the  origin  of  rectangular  co-ordinates,  of  which 
let  the  axis  of  X  be  horizontal  and  that  of  F  vertical.  Let

liminary considerations,  equations  (16)  to  (20)  or  (25)  to  (28) 
contain  the  whole  theory  of  the  motion  of  translation  of  a 
projectile  in  a  medium  whose  resistance  can  be  expressed  by 
an  integral  power  of  the  velocity.  Equation  (16)  gives  the 
velocity  in  terms  of  the  inclination;  (18)  and  (19)  or  (26)  and 
(27),  could  they  be  integrated  generally,  would  give  the  co- 
ordinates of  any  point  of  the  trajectory,  while  the  time  would 
depend  upon  the  integration  of  (17)  or  (25).  But,  unfortu- 
nately, the  ''laws  of  resistance"  which  obtain  in  our  atmo- 
sphere do  not  admit  of  the  integration  of  these  equations  ; 
we  are,  therefore,  obliged  to  resort  to  indirect  solutions 
giving  approximations  more  or  less  exact.  Of  these  many 
have  been  proposed  by  different  investigators;  but,  with 
few  exceptions,  they  are  either  too  operose  for  practical  use 
or  not  sufficiently  approximate.

the  methods  for  calculating  tables  of  fire  and  for  the  solution 
of  the  various  problems  relating  to  trajectories  ;  and  we  will 
endeavor  in  the  following  pages  to  present  such  of  these 
methods  as  are  of  recognized  value,  developed  after  a  uni- 
form plan  and  based  upon  the  preceding  differential  equa- 
tions. 

Oeiieral  Properties  of  Trajectories. — Though  it 
is  impossible  with  our  present  knowledge  to  deduce  the 
equation  of  the  trajectory  described  by  a  projectile,  there 
are  certain  general  properties  of  such  trajectories  which 
may  be  determined  without  knowing  the  law  of  resistance, 
if  we  admit  that  the  resistance  increases  as  some  power  of 
the  velocity  greater  than  the  first,  from  zero  to  infinity; 

whence,  making  —  =  /(^)>  we  shall    have  f  {v)  >  o,   and 

/(x)=  X. 

Variation  of  tlie  Velocity — Miniiniim  Velocity. 

— The  acceleration  in  the  dircctio7i  of  motion  is  [equation  (8)] 

f  =-."T/(^')  +  sin*] 

in  which  — ^sin  d  is  the  component  of  gravity  in  the  direc- 
tion of  motion;  and,  therefore,  whether  the  velocity  is  in- 
creasing or  decreasing  with  the  time  at  any  point  of  the  tra- 
jectory, depends  upon  the  algebraic  sign  of  the  second  mem- 
ber; and  this,  since  f  {v)  \      =  — )  is  considered  positive, 

depends  upon  the  sign  of  sin  d^.  In  the  ascending  branch 
sin  &  is  positive,  and,  therefore,  from  the  point  of  projection 
to  the  summit  the  velocity  is  decreasing.  At  the  summit 
sin  ?^  =  o,  and  at  this  point  gravity,  which  has  hitherto  con- 
spired with  the  resistance  to  diminish  the  velocity,  ceases 
to  act  for  an  instant  in  the  direction  of  motion,  and  then,  as 
sin  d-  changes  sign  in  the  descending  branch,  begins  to  act 
in  opposition  to  the  resistance  ;  that  is,  its  action  tends  to 
increase  the  velocity.  The  component  of  gravity  acting 
perpendicular  to  the  projectile's  motion  (^  cos  d),  and  which 


EXTERIOR   BALLISTICS.  47 

is  a  maximum  at  the  summit,  tends  to  increase  the  in- 
clination in  the  descending  branch,  and  thus  to  increase 
(numerically)  —  sin  &,  until  at  a  certain  point  of  the  de- 
scending branch  where  the  inclination  is  (say)  —  &'  the 
acceleration  of  gravity  in  the  direction  of  motion  has  in- 
creased until  it  just  equals  the  retardation  due  to  the  re- 
sistance of  the  air,  which  latter  has  continually  decreased 
with  the  velocity.  Beyond  this  point,  as  the  component  of 
gravity  in  the  direction  of  motion  still  increases  with  the 
inclination  while  the  resistance  remains  constant  for  an  in- 
stant, the  velocity  also  increases;  and,  therefore,  at  the 
point  where 

w 
the  velocity  is  a  minimum,  and  —  =  o. 

Passing  the  point  of  minimum  velocity,  the  acceleration 
of  gravity  and  the  retardation  due  to  the  resistance  of  the 
air  both  increase;  but  that  there  is  no  maximum  velocity, 
properly  speaking,  may  be  shown  as  follows : 

Differentiating  the  above  expression  for  the  acceleration, 
we  have 

d'^v  '       dv  ^  d& 

and  putting  in  place  of  ^  its  value  from  (10),  we  shall  have 

d'v  ^,.  ^dv   ,     .^-^cos^/> 


df  '*''     '  V/    '  V 

dv 
and  this  is  necessarily  positive  whenever —  ==  o.     The  velo- 
city, therefore,  can  only  be  a  minimum  ;  but  it  tends  towards 

1-        •     •  1  •  ^  P  10  '^

Liinitiiig"  Velocity. — As  the  limiting  velocities  of  all 
service  spherical  projectiles  are  less  than  1233  f.  s.,  we  can

where  A^  is  some  value  of  v  greater  than  its  least,  and  less

Asymptote  to   the   Descending-  Branch.— As  the 

tangent  to  the  descending  branch  at  infinity  is  vertical,  if  it 
can  be  shown  that  it  cuts  the  axis  of  X  at  a  finite  distance, 
it  is  an  asymptote.  To  determine  this,  take  equation  (22) 
which  ofives 


.'•-=/_'. -'^''  =  ^"'('f 


where  K"  is  a  finite  quantity,  since  v^  is  finite  between  the 
limits  of  integration.     Therefore  the  descending  branch  has 


a  vertical  asymptote.

Radius  of  Curvature. — Designate  the  radius  of  curva- 

ture  by  y.     We  have  by  the  differential  calculus  v  = -^ 

(since  the  trajectory  is  concave  toward  the  axis  ofX);  we 
also  have  ds^=zvdt ;  consequently  y  z=z  —-  — —,  and  therefore 
from  (12) 

y  zzz  —  sec  (J  \

The  radius  of  curvature  is  therefore  independent  of  the 
resistance  of  the  air,  and  at  any  point  of  the  trajectory  de- 
pends only  upon  the  velocity  and  the  inclination,  and,  there- 
fore, has  the  same  value  for  the  corresponding  points  of  a 
parabola  described  by  a  projectile  in  vacuo.  The  above  ex- 
pression shows  that  the  radius  of  curvature  decreases  from 
the  point  of  projection  to  the  summit  of  the  trajectory, 
since  v  and  sec  d-  both  decrease  between  those  limits.  Be- 
yond the  summit  v  still  decreases,  but  as  sec  d-  increases  we 
cannot  determine  by  simple  inspection  where  y  ceases  to 
decrease  and  becomes  a  minimum.  Differentiatinof  the  ex- 
pression for  y,  we  have

in  other  words,  the  velocity  has  not  yet  become  a  mini- 
mum. Therefore  the  point  of  maximum  curvature  is  near-

velocity. 


CHAPTER  IV. 

RECTILINEAR    MOTION. 

Relation  between  Time,  Space,  and  Velocity. — 

For  many  practical  purposes,  and  especially  with  the  heavy, 
elongated  projectiles  fired  from  modern  guns,  useful  results 
may  be  obtained  by  considering  the  path  of  the  projectile 
a  horizontal  right  line,  and  therefore  unaffected  by  gravity. 
Upon  this  supposition  f'i-  becomes  zero,  and  equations  (17),

Equations  (29)  and  (30)  (or  their  equivalents)  were  first 
given  by  Bashforth  in  his  *'  Mathematical  Treatise,"  Lon- 
don, 1 873.  He  also  gave  in  the  same  work  tables  of  5  (v)  and 
T{7>)  for  both  spherical  and  elongated  shot;  the  former  ex- 
tending from  V  =:  1900  f.  s.  to  v  =  500  f.  s.,  and  the  latter 
from  V  =  1700  f.  s.  to  v  =:  540  f.  s.  In  a  "  Supplement "  to  his 
work  above  cited,  published  in  1881,  he  extended  the  tables 
for  elongated  projectiles  to  include  velocities  from  2900  f.  s. 
to  100  f.  s. 

Projectiles  differing  from  tlie  Standard.  — It  will 
be  seen  that  the  value  of  the  functions  T{v)a.nd  S  (v)  depend 
upon  those  of  v  and  A,  the  former  of  which  is  independent 
of  the  nature  of  the  shot,  while  the  latter  depends  partly 
upon  the  form  of  the  standard  projectile,  which  in  this 
country  and  England  has  an  ogival  head  struck  with  a 
radius  of  ij  calibers,  and  a  body  2^  calibers  long.  The  fac- 
tor 6^  ( or  -^  ~~)  depends  upon  the  weight  and  diameter  of 
\       o    ca  /  • 

the  projectile,  the  density  of  the  air,  and  the  coefficient  c ; 
which  latter  varies  with  the  type  of  projectile  used.  The 
factor^  varies,  therefore,  with  c ;  but  by  the  manner  in  which 
A  and  c  enter  the  expressions  for  /  and  s,  it  will  be  seen 
that  the  results  will  be  the  same  if  we  make  A  constant, 
and  give  to  ^  a  suitable  value  determined  by  experiment  for 
each  kind  of  projectile.  By  this  means  the  tables  of  the 
functions  T{v)  and  5(z/),  computed  upon  the  supposition 
that  ^  =  I,  can  be  used  for  all  types*  of  projectiles.  We 
will  now  show  how  these  tables  may  be  computed  for  ob- 
long projectiles,  making  use  of  the  expressions  for  the  re-

Chapter  I. 

Oblong  Projectiles,  Velocities  greater  than  1330 

f.  s. — For  velocities  greater  than  1330  f.  s.  we  have  ^^  =  2 
and  log  ^  =6.1525284  —  10;  therefore 

r(.)  =  -iandr(F)=-i, 

or,  since  the  value  of  t  depends  upon  the  difference  of  T{y) 
and  T{V),  we  may,  if  convenient,  introduce  an  arbitrary 
constant  into  the  expression  for  T{v).  Therefore  we  may 
take 

and,  similarly, 

•S  (^)  =  ^  (-  log  r  +  log  0',)  =  ^  log  ^ 

To  avoid  large  numbers  and  to  give  uniformity  to  the 
tables  we  will  determine  the  constants  Q,  and  Q\  so  that 
the  functions  shall  both  reduce  to  zero  for  the  same  value 
of  v;  and  it  will  be  convenient  to  begin  the  table  with  the 
highest  value  of  v  likely  to  occur  in  practice,  which  we  will 
assume  (following  Bashforth)  to  be  2800  f.  s. 

We  therefore  have

Substituting  the  above  values  of  A,  Q^,  and  Q\  in  the

Arbitrary  Constants. — To  deduce  suitable  values  for 
the  arbitrary  constants  Q^  and  ^'2,  we  must  recollect  that 
the  function  representing  the  resistance  of  the  air  changes 
its  form  abruptly  when  the  velocity  is  1330  f.  s. ;  and  to 
prevent  a  correspondingly  abrupt  change  in  our  table  at 
the  same  point — that  is,  to  make  the  numbers  in  the  table  a 
continuous  series — we  must  give  to  g^  and  Q^  such  values 
as  shall  make  the  second  set  of  functions  equal  in  value  to 
the  first  when  z;=i330.  They  will,  therefore,  be  deter- 
mined by  the  following  relations:

Ballistic  Tables. — Table  I.  gives  the  values  of  the  time 
and  space  functions  for  oblong  projectiles,  computed  by  the 
above  formulas,  and  extends  from  v  zizz  2800  f.  s.  to  v  =  400 
f  s.  The  first  differences  are  given  in  adjacent  columns; 
and  as  the  second  differences  rarely  exceed  eight  units  of 
the  last  order,  it  will  hardh^  ever  be  necessary  to  consider 
them  in  using  this  table. 

Table  II.  gives  the  values  of  these  functions  for  spherical 
projectiles,  and  is  based  upon  the  Russian  experiments  dis- 
cussed in  Chapter  II. 

EXAMPLES  OF  THE  USE  OF  TABLES  I.  AJ^D  II. 

Example  i. — The  velocity  of  an  8-inch  service  projectile 
weighing  180  lbs.  was  found  by  the  Boulenge  chronograph 
to  be  1398  f.  s.  at  300  ft.  from  the' gun.  What  was  the 
muzzle  velocity  ? 

Here   C  ==  ^,  v  =  1398,  and  s  =  300,  to  find  V.      From

Example  2. — Determine  the  remaining  velocity  and  the 
time  of  flight  of  the  12-inch  service  projectile,  weighing  800 
lbs.,  at  1000  yds.  from  the  gun,  the  muzzle  velocity  being 
1886  f.  s.

It  is,  therefore,  only  necessary  to  measure  the  velocity

the  same  horizontal  line  as  practicable,  and  at  a  known  dis- 
tance apart,  and  substitute  the  values  thus  obtained  in  the

Krupp  gun  fires  a  projectile  weighing  17 15  lbs.  with  a 
muzzle  velocity  of  1703  f.  s.  By  experiment  it  is  found 
that  the  velocity  at  1800  ft.  from  the  gun  is  1646  f  s.  What 
is  the  value  of  c  for  this  projectile  ?

Extended  Ranges. — For  the  heaviest  elongated  pro- 
jectiles, fired  with  high  initial  velocities,  the  remaining 
velocities  and  times  of  flight  may  be  determined  by  this 
method  with  sufficient  accuracy  for  quite  extended  ranges; 
that  is  to  say,  for  ranges  due  to  an  angle  of  projection  of 
10°  or  12°,  or,  in  other  words,  when  the  least  value  of  cos  ^ 
for  the  entire  trajectory  does  not  depart  very  much  from 
unity,  its  assumed  value.

60  EXTERIOR   BALLISTICS. 

The  numbers  in  the  second  column  are  simple  multiples 
of  the  first  number  in  that  column;  those  in  the  third  column 
are  found  by  adding  S  {V)  =  3499.7  to  the  numbers  on  the 
same  lines  in  the  second  column,  and  the  velocities  in  the 
fourth  column  are  taken  from  Table  I.  with  the  argument 
S{v). 

The  velocities  in  the  last  column  were  computed  by 
Krupp's  formula.  They  are  copied,  as  also  the  data  of  the 
problem,  from  "  Professional  Papers  No.  25,  Corps  of  En- 
gineers, U.  S.  A.,"  page  41. 

In  this  example  the  angles  of  projection  and  fall  for  a 
range  of  18000  feet  are,  respectively,  7°  18'  and  9°  20';  while 
an  8-inch  shell  weighing  180  lbs.  would  require  for  the  same 
range,  with  the  same  initial  velocity,  an  angle  of  projection 
of  11°  5^  and  the  angle  of  fall  would  be  19°  40'. 

In  this  latter  case  the  velocity  computed  by  the  above 
method  would  not  be  a  very  close  approximation. 

Comparison  of  Calculated  with  Observed  Velo- 
cities,— The  following  table,  taken,  with  the  exception  of 
the  last  two  columns,  from  "Annexe  a  la  Table  de  Krupp," 
etc.,  Essen,  1881,  shows  the  agreement  between  the  observed 
and  calculated  velocities  for  projectiles  having  ogives  of  2 
calibers.  The  sixth  column  gives  the  distances,  in  metres, 
between  the  points  at  which  the  velocities  were  measured 
{X^  and  X^).  The  seventh  and  eighth  columns  give  the 
observed  velocities  at  the  distances  from  the  gun  X,  and  X^ 
respectively.  The  ninth  column  gives  the  velocities  at  the 
distances  X^  from  the  gun  computed  by  Krupp's  table  and 
formula.  The  tenth  column  gives  the  velocities  at  the  dis- 
tances X^  computed  by  equation  (30),  using  Table  I.  of  this 
work.  The  coefficient  of  reduction  (c)  was  taken  at  0.907, 
which  is  its  mean  value  for  velocities  between  2300  f.  s.  and 
1200  f.  s.,  as  determined  by  a  comparison  of  Bashforth's  and 
Krupp's  tables  of  resistances  given  in  Chapters  I.  and  II. 
The  only  discrepancies  of  any  account  between  the  calcu- 
lated velocities  in  this  column  and  the  observed  velocities 
occur  when  the  curvature  of  the  trajectory  is  considerable,

as  in'the  last  four  rounds,  and  one  or  two  others.  Equation 
(30)  is  based  upon  the  supposition  that  the  path  of  the  pro- 
jectile is  a  horizontal  right  line,  and,  of  course,  gives  only 
approximate  results  when  this  path  has  any  appreciable 
curvature.  It  will  be  shown  subsequently  that,  to  obtain 
the  real  velocity,  the  "  v  "  computed  by  (30)  should  be  mul- 
tiplied by  the  ratio  of  the  cosines  of  the  angles  of  projec- 
tion and  fall.  In  No.  37,  for  example,  it  will  be  found  that 
to  attain  a  range  of  5945  metres  (3!  miles)  the  angle  of  pro- 
jection would  have  to  be  12°  37',  and  the  angle  of  fall  would 
be  17°  40'.  Making  the  necessary  correction,  we  should 
find  the  velocity  to  be  290.7  m. 

The  last  column  gives  the  remaining  velocities  computed 
by  Mayevski's  formulas.  They  follow  very  closely  those 
computed  by  Krupp. 

In  the  absence  of  tables  we   ma}^   determine  remaining 

velocities    which    exceed    1300   f.   s.  as  follows:    We  have

RELATION   BETWEEN   VELOCITY   AND    INCLINATION. 

Expressions  for  the  Velocity. — Equation  (15),  which, 


since  {i)  =  --—  -|-  (^),  may  be  written 


(f)»-(#)»  =  ^-{jr--^4  (31) 

gives  the  relation  between  the  horizontal  velocities  ^and  11 
and  the  corresponding  inclinations  ^  and  d^\  and  of  these 
four  quantities  any  three  being  given,  the  fourth  can  be  ac- 
curately computed,  provided,  of  course,  that  the  value  of  k 
has  been  accurately  determined  by  experiment.  The  func- 
tions (^)„  and  (?^)„  are  the  integrals  of ;^^-^-,  and  the  fol- 

COS         t/" 

lowing  are  the  forms  they  take  for  the  values  of  n  here 
adopted :

{»),  =  tan  »  +  i  tan'  » 


+  A|og.„g+|) 


It  is  evident  that  all  these  expressions  become  o  when 
/>  —  o,    negative    when    f'^   is    negative,    and     infinite    when 

?^  =: '  ;  or,  in  symbols,  (o)  =  o,(—  ^)  =  —  (/5^),  and  r' j  =  x 

If  there  were  buto^ie  "  law  of  resistance" — in  other  words, 
\^  n  had  but  one  value  for  all  velocities — it  would  be  easy  to 
calculate  the  velocity  for  any  given  value  of  />  by  means  of

(31).  It  would  only  be  necessary  to  tabulate  the  values  of  (/>)„ 
for  all  practical  values  of  d-  as  the  argument,  and  to  pro- 
vide a  similar  table  of  (-j   with  ?/ as  the  argument.     But,  as 

we  have  seen,  ;i  may  change  its  value  two  or  three  times  in 
the  same  trajectory  ;  and  though  it  would  be  possible  to 
ascertain  by  trial  the  exact  point  of  the  trajectory  where 
this  change  occurred,  yet  the  labor  involved  would  be  very 
great. 

Basliforth's  Method. — Professor  Bash  forth  overcomes 
this  difficulty  by  giving  to  71  the  constant  value  3,  and 
making  /r'  to  vary  in  such  a  manner  as  to  satisfy  (31)  for  all 
velocities.  His  method  of  procedure  is  as  follows:  making 
«  =  3  and  />  =  o,  (31)  becomes 


C/' 


i^tan  ^  +  i  tan>^ 


in  which  6^  and  (f  are  the  horizontal  velocity  and  inclination, 
respectively,  at  the  beginning  of  an}^  arc  of  the  trajectory 
we  may  be  considering;  and  v^  the  velocity  at  the  summit. 
In  Bash  forth 's  notation 


3^        ^' 


^(loooy  w' 


substituting  this  in  the  above  equation  and  multiplying  by 
(1000)^  to  avoid  the  inconvenience  of  very  small  numbers, 
we  have 

/iooo\^       /iooo\'       K  d'  i     ^  ,   .     3     ) 

by  means  of  which  either  z^^,  [/,  or  (p  can  be  determined 
when  the  other  two  are  known.  When  the  resistance  can 
be  taken  proportional  to  the  cube  of  the  velocity,  K  is  con- 
stant; but  for  all  other  velocities  it  is  a  variable,  and  we 
must  take  a  certain  mean  of  its  values  for  the  arc  under  con- 
sideration. Prof.  Bashforth  takes  the  arithmetical  mean, 
which  will  generally  give  very  accurate  results  for  arcs  of

lo  or  15  degrees  in  extent.     In  his  work  he  gives  the  ne- 

cessar}^  tables  for  suitably  determining  —  for  all   velocities 

from  100  f.  s.  to  2900  f.  s.,  and  also  tables  giving  values  of 
3  tan  ip  -\-  tan^  ip  for  all  practical  values  of  ^ . 

Other  approximate  methods  involving  less  labor  will  be 
given  further  on. 

High  Aiig:le  and  Curved  Fire. — When  the  initial 
velocity  does  not  exceed  800  f  s.,  which  includes  nearly  all 
mortar  and  howitzer  practice,  the  law  of  resistance  for 
oblong  projectiles  is  that  of  the  square  of  the  velocity; 
whence,  making  n  ^  2,  and  dropping  the  subscript,  (31)  be- 
comes 

or,  writing  /  (u)  for 


(^)-(^)=^{/W-/(C/))  (32) 

The  value  of /(?/)  for  any  given  value  of  ti  can  be  taken 
directly  from  Tables  T.  and  II.,  the  method  of  construction 
of  which  will  be  given  further  on.  Table  III.  gives  (^)  and 
extends  from  ^  =  o  to  (^  =  60°. 

To  use  (32)  for  computing  low  velocities  (and  also  for 
high  velocities,  exceeding  1330  f.  s.),  we  have 

/«=f  I  (?)-('?)}  + /(f^)  (33) 

2 
in  which  u  and  B  are  the  only  variables;  -^,  (^),  and  I{U)j 

having  been  determined,  do  not  change  their  values  for  the 
same  trajectory. 

To  illustrate  the  ease  with  which  velocities  may  be  cal- 
culated by  (33),  take  the  following  data  from  Bashforth's 
"Treatise,"  page  115:

The  numbers  in  the  second  column  are  taken  directly 
from  Table  III.  for  the  values  of  f^  given  in  column  i.  Sub-

those  in  column  3;  and  these  multiplied  by  -^  {=  1. 12323)

these  last  gives  the  values  of  /  (ti)  in  column  5. 

The  values  of  u  are  then  taken  from  Table  I.,  and  these 
multiplied  by  sec  '^  give  the  velocities  sought.  For  com- 
parison the  velocities  computed  by  Bashforth,  by  his  method 
already  explained,  are  also  given  ;  and  it  will  be  seen  that 


68  EXTERIOR    BALLISTICS. 

the  differences  between  his  velocities  and  those  computed 
by  (33)  are  practically  nil. 

This  method  of  determining  velocities  may  be  used 
without  material  error  when  the  initial  velocity  is  as  great 
as  1000  f.  s. 

Example. — The  8-inch  howitzer  is  fired  with  a  quadrant 
elevation  of  23°;  muzzle  velocity,  920  f.  s. ;  weight  of  shell, 
180  lbs.;  diameter,  8  inches.  What  will  be  the  velocity  in 
the  descending  branch  when  />  =  —  27°  54'  ?  (See  Mac- 
kinlay's  ''  Text-Book,"  page  109.)

/(/7)  =0.40884;     log  ^  =  9.85 194 

The  computation  is  as  follows: 

(23°)  =       0.43690 
(-27°  540=— 0.55327 

log  0.99017  =  9.99571

Mackinlay  gets  by  Niven's  method,  dividing  the  tra- 
jectory into  two  parts,  6^270  54' =  610.6  f.  s.  It  will  be  seen 
that  by  the  method  developed  above  for  calculating  veloci- 
ties, the  length  of  the  arc  taken  makes  no  difference  in  the 
accuracy  of  the  results. 

Siacci's  Method. — Equation  (13)  may  be  written 

/^     dd-     _gC    r  ^  sec'  &  du 

Since  ^  is  a  function  of  u,  there  must  be  some  constant 
mean  value  of  sec  d-  which  will  satisfy  the  above  definite 


EXTERIOR   BALLISTICS.  69 

integral.     Representing  this  mean  value  of  sec  d-  by  a,  and 
writing  U'  and  u'  for  af/and  au  respectively,  we  have 


n     d&      _agC_  f^  _duf__ 


Making 


^(«')  =  ^7^  +  e 


(34)  becomes 

tan  ^  -  tan  ,!'  =  ^{ /(«')- 7(^7)}  (35) 

The  values  of  I  {ii')  are  given  in  Table  1.  for  oblong  pro- 
jectiles, and  in  Table  II.  for  spherical  projectiles.  The 
method  of  computing  the  /-function  is  entirely  similar  to 
that  already  described  for  the  5  and  /-functions,  and  need 
not  be  repeated.  For  oblong  projectiles  the  formulae  areas 
follows,  in  which,  for  uniformity,  /  (z^)  is  employed  as  the 
general  functional  symbol: 

2800  f.  s.  >  7^  >  1330  f.  s. :

If  we  compare  (34)  with  (31)  it  will  be  seen  that

and  this  value  of  a  renders  (34)  and  (35)  exact  equations;  in 
fact,  reduces  them  to  (31).  It  would  seem  at  first  as  if 
nothing  had  been  gained  by  introducing  a  into  (35),  since 
its  value  depends  upon  that  of  ^2,  and  must,  therefore,  change 
when  n  changes.  The  following  table  gives  the  values  of  a 
for  the  arcs  contained  in  the  first  column,  when  ;/  =  2,  w  =  3, 
and  n=z6,  computed  by  the  above  formula  :

It  is  evident  from  this  table  that  when  the  angle  of  pro- 
jection is  as  great  as  30°,  the  velocity  at  any  point  of  the  tra- 
jectory may  be  computed  with  sufficient  accuracy  by  using 
either  set  of  values  «;  since  the  greatest  difference  between 
those  in  the  second  and  fourth  columns  on  the  same  line  is 
but  0.0042,  and  this  would  make  but  a  slight  difference  in 
the  values  of  U'  or  u'.  MoreoVer,"since  U'  —  a  Fcos  ^,  and 
u'  =^  av  cos  ^?,  it  is  apparent  that  U'  and  u'  differ  less  from  V 
and  V  respectively  than  do  U  and  u;  and  this  is  important 
when,  as  is  usually  the  case,  the  law  of  resistance  is  different 
for  the  initial  and  terminal  velocities.

Siacci's  Modification  of  (35)  for  Direct  Fire.— 

Since  in  direct  fire  the  angle  of  projection  does  not  exceed 
15°,  and  is  generally  much  less,  the  values  o^  a  for  this  kind 
of  fire  will  not  differ  much  from  unity.  For  example,  with 
10°  elevation,  and  an  angle  of  fall  of  —  12°,  we  shall  have 
for  a 

,,_       (10°) +  (12°)       _Q.39i39_^^^., 
■"  tan  10°  +  tan  12°  ~  0.38889  "~  "^ 

It  is  manifest,  therefore,  that  for  sucli  small  angles  no 
material  error  would  result  in  making  «=  i ;  the  following, 
however,  is  a  closer  approximation.  If  we  consider  that 
part  of  the  trajectory  lying  above  the  horizontal  plane 
passing  through  the  muzzle  of  the  gun,  it  will  be  seen  that  * 
a  should  be  greater  than  unity  and  less  than  sec  co.  Siacci 
makes 

W-2 

a  =  (sec^)«-i 


therefore,  when  «  =  2,  a  =1 ;  when  «  =  3,  a  =  V  sec  ^,  and 

when  n  =^  6^  a  =z  sec    f  ;  and  the  average  value  of  a  for  the 
whole  trajectory  generally  fulfils  the  above  condition. 

This  value  of    a  substituted   in   (34)  gives,  by  an  easy 
reduction,

or,  writing  u'  for  u  sec  ^,  and   proceeding  as  already  ex- 
plained, 

'      Example. — Take  the  follow^ing  data:

and  the  computation  will  be  as  follows: 

log  (tan  10°  +  tan  13°)  =  9.60980 

log- -^  =  9.55630

tively, is  7' =:  1081.55  f.  s.  This  agreement  is  very  close; 
but  if  we  make  if  =  30°  and  ^  ==  15°,  as  in  the  preceding  ex- 
ample, we  should  find  by  tiiis  method  ?''i5«  =  1113.1;  and  if 
d- =z  —  15°,  we  should  find  7^_i^«  =  859.3,  which  differ  consid- 
erably from  their  true  values. 

Mven's  Method.— W.  D.  Niven,  Esq.,  M.A.,  F.R.S., 
has  given  the  following  method  for  determining  velocities 
in  terms  of  the  inclination  : 

Equation  (13)  may  be  written 

J  ,  ^  Aj  ,    («sec.?r"        "-A J  „.   «'"*■ 

in  which,  as  before,  a  is  some  mean  value  of  sec  d^  between 
the  limits  sec  <p  and  sec  ??,  and  1/  =z  av  cos  d^  and  U'  ^=.a  Fcos  (p. 
Integrating,  we  have

the  above  equation  becomes 

n  =  ^\D{,/)-j?{u')\*  (38) 

which  is  the  equivalent  of  Niven's  expression  for  the  velo- 
city and  inclination.  Mr.  Niven  has  published  a  table  of  the 
/>>•  function  for  velocities  extending-  from  400  f.  s.  to  2500  f.  s. 
(See  Table  VI.  ii  Mackinlay's  "Text-Book.")  It  will  be 
seen  by  comparing  the  expressions  for  D  {v)  and  I  [v)  that 
we  have  the  relation 

and,  therefore,  in  terms  of  the  /-function,  (38)  becomes 

.^  =  t|'{^M-/(^0}  (39) 

log  ^==1.4570926 

Comparing  (37)  with  (31),  it  is  apparent  that  to  make  (37) 
or  (38)  exact  equations  we  must  have

For  direct  fire  Didion's  value  of  a  may  be  used ;  but  for 
high-angle  firing-  the  following  gives  more  accurate  results, 
obtained  from  the  above  equation  by  making  a/  =  2  :

CHAPTER  VI. 

TRAJECTORIES— HIGH-ANGLE   FIRE. 

As  we  have  seen,  the  differential  equations  for  x,y^  t,  and 
s  do  not  generally  admit  of  integration  in  finite  terms  for 
any  law  of  resistance  pertaining  to  our  atmosphere ;  that 
is,  for  any  recognized  value  of  ?i.  It  is  true  that  Professor 
Greenhill  has  recently*  succeeded,  by  a  profound  analysis, 
in  deducing  exact  finite  expressions  for  x  and  y  by  means  of 
elliptic  functions,  when  ?^  =  3 ;  but  these  results,  though  of 
great  interest  to  the  mathematician,  are  far  too  complicated 
for  the  practical  use  of  the  artillerist.  When  /^  =  2  the  ex- 
pression for  ds  can  be  integrated  and  useful  results  deduced 
therefrom,  as  will  be  seen  further  on. 

For  low  velocities,  such  as  are  generally  employed  in 
high-angle  and  curved  fire,  the  effect  of  the  resistance  of 
the  air  upon  heavy  projectiles  is  comparatively  slight;  and 
for  a  first  (though  rough)  approximation  we  may,  in  such 
cases,  omit  the  resistance  altogether,  or,  better  still,  we  may 
suppose  the  projectile  subject  to  a  mean  constarit  resistance. 
A  still  closer  approximation  may  be  obtained  by  taking  a 
resistance  proportional  to  the  first  power  of  the  velocity. 
As  the  differential  equations  for  the  co-ordinates  and  time 
are  susceptible  of  exact  integration  upon  each  one  of  these 
hypotheses,  we  will  consider  them  in  turn.

which  is  the  equation  of  a  parabola  whose  axis  is  vertical 
A  parabola,  therefore,  is  the  curve  a  projectile  would  de- 
scribe in  vacuo. 

Since  a  parabola  is  symmetrical  with  respect  to  its  axis, 
the  ascending  branch  is  similar  in  every  respect  to  the  de- 
scending branch,  the  angle  of  fall  being  equal  to  the  angle 
of  projection  ;  and  generally,  for  the  same  value  of  j,  tan  d^ 
has  numerically  the  same  value,  but  with  contrary  signs,  in 
both  branches;  being  positive  in  the  ascending  branch, 
negative  in  the  descending  branch,  and  zero  at  the  vertex.

trajectory  is  that  which  it  would  acquire  by  falling  through 
a  vertical  distance  equal  to  ^  —  j^. 

All  the  properties  of  the  trajectory  in  vacuo  may  be 
easily  and  elegantly  determined  by  means  of  the  funda- 
mental equations  (41)  to  (44)  inclusive.

When  2?;^  =  i,  the  differential  expression  for  x  becomes 
logarithmic,  as  do  those  for  /,  y,  and  s  when  in  —  \.  The 
integrations  are  easily  obtained  for  these  values  of  m^  but 
are  omitted  on  account  of  their  length,  and  as  being  of  no 
great  practical  importance.  In  the  application  of  these  for- 
mulae it  will  be  necessary,  since  the  resistance  of  the  air  is 
not  constant,  but  varies  with  the  velocity,  to  determine  a 
proper  mean  value  for  m  between  the  limits  of  integration  ; 
and  this  we  may  do  as  follows :  After  having  computed  the 
horizontal  velocities  u^  and  u^  by  means  of  (33),  corre- 
sponding to  the  inclinations  a  and  /9,  the  value  of  in  may  be

Determination  of  h. — In  the  above  integrations  we 
have  assumed  k  to  be  constant,  whereas  it  varies  with  the 
velocity  ;  but  our  results  will  be  correct  if  we  give  to  ^  a 
proper  mean  of  all  its  values  between  the  limits  of  integra- 
tion ;  and  as  k  varies  slowly  and  with  considerable  regularity 
for  all  velocities  for  which  this  method  will  be  used,  we  will 
take  for  k  the  value  corresponding  to  the  arithmetical  mean 
of  the  two  velocities  at  the  extremities  of  the  arc  under 
consideration.  It  is  evident  that  the  smaller  the  arc  of  the 
trajectory  over  which  we  integrate,  the  less  will  be  the 
error  committed  in  taking  this  value  for  k.      But  it  will  be

The  value  of  k  in  the  ascending-  branch  will  be  assumed 
to  be  that  due  to  the  velocity  |  {y-\-v^\  and  in  the  descend- 
ing branch,  to  \  (^o  +  ^e)*  ^e  being  the  velocity  at  the  point  of 
fall.  The  first  step,  then,  is  to  compute  v^  and  Vq  ;  and  this 
can  readily  be  done  by  means  of  (33),  as  already  explained. 

Expressions  for  the  Ascending  and  Descending- 
Branches. — It  will  be  seen  that  x,  y,  and  t  are  functions  of 
6^  and  u;  and  these  latter  depend  upon  (p  and  ?^,  as  shown  in 
equation  (48). 

From  this  equation  we  have 


■^  +  tan  ^ 


-  +tan?^  =  - 


in  which  u^  is  the  value  of  21  at  the  summit;  whence

and,  since  d-  is  negative  in  the  descending  branch, 

k 


^fl  =

The  following  expressions  for  t,  x,  and  y  for  the  ascend- 
ing and  descending  branches  are  easily  deduced  from  (49), 
(50),  and  (51),  in  connection  with  (52)  and  (53):

In  using  these  formulae,  u^  and  Uq  are  to  be  computed  by 
means  of  (52)  and  (53). 

The  zero  subscript  is  to  be  interpreted  "  from  the  origin

The  method  of  computing  a  trajectory  by  these  simple 
formulas  will  be  best  exhibited  by  examples,  which  we  will 
select  from  those  that  have  been  worked  out  by  other 
methods  of  recognized  accuracy,  or  which  have  been  tested 
by  firing. 

Example  i. — -Calculate  the  trajectory  with  the  data  on

Assuming  —  37°  to  be  the  angle  of  fall,  we  will  divide 
the  trajectory  into  two  arcs,  the  first  extending  from  30°  to 
0°,  and  the  second  from  0°  to  —37°.  The  velocities  v,,  and 
z/_370  are  computed  as  follows : 

From  Table  III.  we  take  out  (30°)  =  0.60799,  and  (37°)  = 
0.81977;  and  from  Table  I.,  /(^)  =  / (650.385)  =  0.93354. 
Then

These  results,  being  practically  identical  with  those  de-

that  when  the  law  of  resistance  is  that  of  the  square  of  the 
velocity,  as  in  this  example,  we  may  get  quite  as  close  an 
approximation  to  the  true  trajectory  by  assuming  that  the

as  we  can  upon  the  hypothesis  of  the  law  of  the  cube,  and 
with  a  great  gain  in  simplicity  and  labor.

For  the  Krupp  projectiles  and  low  velocities  we  will 
take  for  c  the  ratio  of  the  coefficients  of  resistance  deduced

As  the  initial  velocity  in  this  example  is  considerable, 
we  will  take  into  account  the  density  of  the  air  at  the  time 
the  shots  were  fired,  and  also  the  diminution  of  density  due

For  all  values  of  n  greater  than  unity  the  differential

For  this  reason  Professor  Bash  forth  assumes  the  cubic  law 
of  resistance  throughout  the  whole  extent  of  the  trajectory, 
and  employs  variable  coefficients  to  make  the  results  con- 
form to  the  actual  resistance.

Professor  Bashforth  has  published  extensive  tables  of  the

from  +60°  to  —  60°,  and  of  y  from  o  to  100,  calculated  by 
quadratures;  by  means  of  which  the  principal  elements  of  a 
trajectory  may  be  accurately  determined  as  follows: 

As  the  coefficient  of  resistance  K  generally  varies  with 
the  velocity,  the  trajectory  must  be  divided  into  arcs  of  such 
limited  extent  that  the  value  of  K  for  each  arc  may  be  con- 
sidered constant ;  and  it  should  be  so  taken  as  to  give,  as 
nearly  as  possible,  its  mean  value  for  the  arc  under  con- 
sideration.

of  the  first  arc  into  which  the  trajectory  is  divided.  Now, 
assuming  a  mean  velocity  for  this  arc,  take  out  the  corre- 
sponding value  of  K  from   the  proper  table  and   compute

comes  tlie  horizontal  velocit}^  at  the  forward  extremity  ot 
the  arc,  which  can  also  be  computed. 

Next  compute  y  by  means  of  the  equation  given  above, 
with  which  and  the  known  values  of  ^  and  ^  enter  the 
tables  and  take  out  '^T^ ,  ^X^ ,  and  ^Y^-^   lastly,  multiplying

the  first  by  — ^,  and  each   of  the   others  by  -— ,  we  have  the 

^   g  ^  g 

time  of  describing  the  first  arc  of  the  trajectory  and  the  co- 
ordinates of  its  for  vvard  extremity.  By  repeating  the  process 
with  the  second  and  following  arcs  into  which  the  trajectory 
may  be  divided,  the  whole  trajectory  becomes  known. 

Professor  Bashforth  gives  various  other  tables  in  his 
work,  besides  those  we  have  mentioned,  for  facilitating  the 
calculation  of  trajectories  by  his  method,  with  examples  of 
their  application  and  full  directions  for  their  use. 

Modiflcatioii  of  Bashfortli's  Method  for  low  Velo- 
cities.— When  the  initial  velocity. does  not  exceed  790  f.  s. 
the  law  of  resistance  is  that  of  the  square  of  the  velocity  for 
the  entire  trajectory;  and  even  when  the  initial  velocity  is 
as  great  as  1000  f.  s.  examples  show  that  no  material  error 
results  if  we  still  retain  the  law  of  the  square  in  our  calcu- 
lations;  and  this  furnishes  a  very  easy  method  for  calcu- 
lating trajectories  for  high  angles  of  projection  and  for  the 
initial  velocities  usually  employed  in  high-angle  fire,  and 
which,  it  is  believed,  gives  as  accurate  results  as  by  any 
other  method,  and  with  less  labor.

It  will  be  seen  that  this  method  depends  upon  tables  of 
definite  integrals  which  must  be  calculated  by  quadratures 
as  in  Bashforth's  method,  and  with  the  same  number  of 
arguments;  but  the  great  advantage  of  these  formulas  over 
Bashforth's  is  in  the  fact  that  y  is  constant  for  a  given  tra- 
jectory, and,  therefore,  the  labor  of  calculation  is  the  same 
for  all  angles  of  projection.

The  numbers   between  brackets  are  the  logarithms  of  the 
factors  by  which  C  is  to  be  multiplied.

For  computing-  v^  we  have  from  (32),  when  ^  =  0, 

/(t/„)=-J(^)+/(f/)  (56) 

in   which  ^   may  be   the  inclination  at  any  point  in  either 

branch,  and  U  the  corresponding  horizontal  velocity.      The 

values  of  (^)  are  given  in  Table  III. 

To  show  the  practical  working  of  this  method,  we  will 

take    the    example    from     Bashforth    already    given    (see 

page  6j).     The  data  are:  V:^j^\   f.   s. ;  ^  =  30°;    ^  =  6.27

The  value  of  ^°°V°  by  the  above  table  is  0.21775,  and  as 
this  must  be  equal  to  °F"  we  see  at  a  glance  that  co  lies 
between  —  36°  and  —  37° ;  and  by  interpolation  we  get 
w=r— 36°5i';  and  therefore  °X'J  =  0.62025  and  ^T'J  0.68081. 
Adding  to  these  the  numbers  corresponding  to  the  argument

multiplying  the  first  of  these  by  -^,and  the  second  by  — ,  we 

obtain

We  find 


and

^«o  =  543-2  f.  s. 
It  will  be  seen  that  the  inverse  problem,  namely,  Given 


EXTERIOR  BALLISTICS.  lOI 

the  terminal  velocity  and  angle  of  fall,  to  determine  the 
initial  velocity,  angle  of  projection,  range,  and  time,  can  be 
solved  by  this  method  with  the  same  ease  and  accuracy  as 
the  direct  problem.  We  should  first  compute  the  summit 
velocity  by  the  equation 

/W  =  /(0-|=H  (57) 

and  then  all  the  other  elements  would  be  determined,  as 
already  explained. 

In  calculating  trajectories  by  this  method  with  the  help 
of  tables  of  the  definite  integrals  '^T^ ,  etc.,  it  will  generally 
be  necessary,  as  in  Bashforth's  method,  to  interpolate  with 
reference  to  y  as  well  as  d-,  and  for  this  purpose  the  integrals 
must  be  tabulated  for  different  values  of  y  proceeding  by 
constant  diff'erences,  and  including  the  highest  and  lowest 
values  of  y  likely  to  be  needed  in  practice,  which  are,  ap- 
proximately, I  and  O.2.

The  first  three  of  these  equations  (or  their  equivalents) 
were  first  published  by  Mr.  Niven  in  1877,  and  in  connection 
with  equation  (38),  viz.: 

D=Ccos.J[D  {u')  -  D  ( U')]  (63) 

constitute  what  is  known  as  "Niven's  Method."

tion (63)  becomes

for   the    descending    branch    of    the    trajectory.      For   the

We  will  now  apply  these  formulae  to  the  solution  of  a

sults obtained  with  those  to  be  deduced  from  other  methods 
we  will  use  Table  I.  of  this  work  instead  of  Niven's  tables, 
and  we  will  also  perform  the  calculations  with  more  accu- 
racy than  is  generally  necessary  in  practice.

is  fired  at  an  angle  of  departure  of  io°,  and  an  initial  velocity 
of  1886  f.  s.  Find  v,  x,  y,  and  /  (a)  when  &  =  o,  and  (b) 
when  &  =  —  1;^°. 

Here  d=  12  in.,  z£'=  800  lbs.,  C  — ,<c^  10°,  V^  1886

f.  s.,  U—  1886  cos  10°  =  1857.33. 

(a)  ??  =  o     .-,  n=  10°.     We  have  first 

tan  ?^,  =  i  tan  10°  =  0.0831635 
.-.  5,  =  5°  2'  i8'^  and  U' =  Usgc'J,=^  1864.56 
Next  compute  u'  by  means  of  the  equation 

nu')  =  ^^sec&,  +  I{U') 

or 

/  (u^)  =  0.06308  +  0.03624  =  0.09932 

.-.  u'  =  1328.96  =  ?^  sec  d-^

Next  compute  the  value  of  ^  to  be  used  with  the  X-, 
F-,  and  ^-integrals.     We  have

The  new  values  of  U^  and  1/  are,  therefore, 

U'  =  1866.25,  and  u'  =  1330.06

provision  made  in  this  method  for  calculating  an  arc  of  a 
trajectory  lying-  partly  in  the  ascending  and  partly  in  the 
descending  branches.  Indeed,  since  the  differential  ex- 
pression for  J/  contains  sin  ^  as  a  factor,  which  becomes  zero 
at  the  summit  and  changes  its  sign  in  the  descending  branch, 
equation  (61)  does  not  hold  true,  unless  the  limits  of  integra- 
tion {if  and  d^)  are  both  positive  or  both  negative. 

We  have,  then,  for  this  arc  of  the  trajectory  the  follow- 
ing data  : 

F=  U^  1323.72,  ip  =0°,  ^=  -  13°,  and  D=  13°

The  new  values  of  U^  and  u^  are,  therefore,

From  Table  I.  we  get

The  co-ordinates  of  the  point  of  the  trajectory  whose  in- 
clination is—  13°,  taking  the  origin  at  the  point  of  projec- 
tion, are  therefore 

X=  1 3 180.7  +  9826.3  =  23007.0  ft.

And  the  time,

For  comparison  we  have  computed  the  same  elements

directly  from  equations  (i6),  (25),  (26),  and  (27),  dividing  the 
whole  arc  into  three  parts,  with  the  points  of  division  corre- 
sponding to  velocities  of  1330  f.  s.  and  1120  f.  s.  respectively. 
The  integrals  for  each  arc  were  computed  by  quadratures, 
and  the  following  are  the  final  results: 

^^=1081.55    f.   s.;   Xi=  23025.7  ft.;    F=:  243.14    ft.,   and 

r=  16^843. 

The  agreement  between  these  two  sets  of  values  is  re- 
markably close,  and  shows  that  for  the  purpose  of  com- 
puting co-ordinates  of  different  points  of  a  trajectory, 
Niven's  method  is  all  that  could  be  desired  so  far  as  ac- 
curacy is  concerned.  For  high  angles  of  projection  the 
trajectory  should  be  divided  into  arcs  not  exceeding  10°  or 
15°  each,  and  always  with  one  point  of  division  at  the  sum- 
mit. 

Example  2. — Given  d  ^  12  in.,  'w=^  800  lbs.,  F=  1886  f.  s., 
and  ip  =  30°.  Compute  the  time  and  co-ordinates  when 
d-  =  24°.

In  the  same  manner,  by  successive  steps,  can  the  whole 
trajectory  be  computed.  In  practice  it  is  never  necessary 
to  divide  a  trajectory  into  arcs  of  less  than  10°. 

Sladen's  Method  for  Low-Aiigle  Firing/'^  — When 
the  angle  of  projection  is  small,  say  not  exceeding  3°,  the 
time  corresponding  to  a  given  range  can  be  computed  with 
great  accuracy  by  means  of  (29)  and  (30).  We  should  first 
find  V  by  means  of  the  equation 

*  "Principles  of  Gunnery,"  by  Major  J,  Sladen,  R.A.,  London,  1879,  Chapter  VI.

and  then  with  th.is  value  of  v  compute  T  by  means  of  (29). 
In  the  same  manner  we  could  find  the  value  of  /  for  a  given 
value  of  Xy  less  than  X ;  and  these  values  of  T  and  t  substi- 
tuted in  (46),  viz., 

would  give  the  value  of  jj^  corresponding  to  x ;  since,  under 
the  conditions  supposed,  the  vertical  component  of  the  velo- 
city would  be  so  small  as  to  produce  no  appreciable  resist- 
ance to  the  projectile  in  that  direction. 

Example  i — Required  the  following  co  ordinates  of  the 
trajectory  described  by  a  500-grain  bullet  fired  from  a 
Springfield  rifle,  for  a  range  of  600  ft.,  viz. :  when  ;ir=  150  ft., 
300  ft.,  and  450  ft.  respectively  ;  r^  =  524.29,  ^^  =  534.22. 

Here  ^==  0.45  in.,  zv  =  500  grains  =  J^  lb.,  F=  1280  f.  s., 
and  X=  600  ft.  We  first  find  5  (K)  =  5509.70;  r(F)  =  2.985;

Equation  {66),  together  with  (35),  (59),  and  (60),  are  the 
fundamental  equations  of  *'  Siacci's  method."  This  method, 
by  Major  F.  Siacci,  of  the  Italian  Artillery,  was  published 
in  the  Revue  d' Artillerie  for  October,  1880.  A  translation 
of  this  paper  by  Lieutenant  O.  B.  Mitcham,  Ordnance  De- 
partment, U.  S.  A.,  was  printed  in  the  report  of  the  Chief 
of  Ordnance  for  1881.  Lieutenant  Mitcham  added  to  his 
translation  a  ballistic  table  adapted  to  English  units,  and 
based  upon  the  coefficients  of  resistance  deduced  by  Gene- 
ral Mayevski  from  the  Russian  and  English  experiments 
noticed  in  Chapter  IL  In  this  table  he  gives  for  the  first 
time  the  values  of  T{v). 

We  will,  for  convenience,  collect  thesd  equations  to- 
gether and  renumber  them : 

They  are :

As  the  origin  of  co-ordinates  is  at  the  point  of  departure, 
y  is  zero  at  the  origin  and  also  at  the  point  in  the  descend- 
ing branch  where  the  trajectory  pierces  the  horizontal  plane 
passing  through  the  muzzle  of  the  gun.  Calling  the  velo- 
city at  this  point  v^,  we  shall  have,  making  —  d^  z:z  w,

By  means  of  equations  {67)  to  {77)  all  problems  of  ex- 
terior ballistics  in  the  plane  of  fire  may  be  solved.  If  we 
wish  to  compute  the  co-ordinates  of  the  extremities  of  any 
arc  of  a  trajectory  having  the  inclinations  (f  and  d^,  we  should 
make  use  of  equations  {67)  to  (71).  If  the  object  is  to  deter- 
mine the  elements  of  a  complete  trajectory  lying  above  the 
horizontal  plane  passing  through  the  muzzle  of  the  gun,  at 
one  operation,  we  should  employ  equations  (72)  to  {77).  We 
will  give  an  example  of  each,  using  Didion's  value  of  a. 

Example  i. — Given    F=  1886  f.  s. ;   <^=  12  in.;  2£;  =  800

From  (73)  we  have

from  which  to  calculate  ic'^.  As  the  relation  between  the 
S-function  and  y^-function  does  not  admit  of  a  direct  solu- 
tion of  this  equation,  it  will  be  necessary  to  determine  the 
value  of  z/o,  by  successive  approximations;  and  for  this  pur- 
pose the  rule  of  **  Double  Position"  is  well  adapted.  This 
rule  is  deduced  as  follows  :  Let  u^  and  u^  be  two  near  values 
of?/  (or  the  quantity  to  be  determined),  one  greater  and  the 
other  less  ;  and  e^  and  e^  the  errors  respectively,  when  n^  and 
u^  are  substituted  for  u  in  the  equation  to  be  solved.  Tiien, 
upon  the  hypothesis  that  the  errors  in  the  results  are  pro- 
portional to  the  errors  in  the  assumed  data,  we  have 

e^\  e^W  u  —  //j  :  u  —  u^ 

whence,  by  division, 

e^—  e^\  e^W  u^  —  u^'.  u  —  u^ 
or 

e^  —  e^\  e^\ :  u^  —  u^\  ii  —  ti^ 

from  which  is  derived  the  following  rule:  As  the  difference 
of  the  errors  is  to  the  difference  of  the  assumed  numbers,  so 
is  the  lesser  of  the  two  errors  (numerically)  to  the  correc- 
tion to  be  applied  to  the  corresponding  assumed  number.

If  11^  and  u^  are  selected  with  judgment,  the  resulting 
value  of  II  will  generally  be  sufficiently  correct  by  a  single 
application  of  the  rule,  or,  at  most,  by  two  trials. 

In  our  example  assume  it^  =z  1050,  for  a  first  trial ;  whence 
5  (1050)  =  7143.7,  and  A  (1050)  =464.94 ;  and  these  in  the

If  we  had  taken  for  71^  the  correct  value  of  u^^,  the  second 
member  would  have  been  0.09856,  and  hence  ^,  =  —  0.00094. 
Whenever  ^,  is  negative  the  assumed  value  of  u' ^  is  too 
great;  we  will,  therefore,  next  suppose  2/2=  1040,  and  pro- 
ceeding in  the  same  way  we  find  ^^  = +0-00128.  The  cor- 
rect value  of  u^^  is,  then,  between  1050  ft.  and  1040  ft.  Ap- 
plying the  rule,  we  have  the  following  proportion  : 

222  :  10  ::  94  :  4.23 

consequently  u'^  =  1050  —  4.23=  1045.77  f-  s. :  and  this  satis- 
fies the  above  equation.

Siacci's  Equations  for  Direct  Fire.— As  already 
stated,  a  is  some  mean  value  of  the  secants  of  the  inclina- 
tions of  the  extremities  of  the  arc  of  the  trajectory  over 
which  we  integrate ;  and  consequently  if  we  take  the  whole 

r 


Il6  EXTERIOR   BALLISTICS. 

trajectory  lying  above  the  level  of  the  gun,  a  will  be  greater 
than  I  and  less  than  sec  co.  To  illustrate,  suppose  we  have  for 
our  data  a  given  projectile  fired  with  a  certain  known  initial 
velocity  and  angle  of  projection,  and  we  wish  to  calculate 
the  angle  of  fall,  terminal  velocity,  range,  and  time  of  flight. 
If  we  calculate  these  elements  by  means  of  (75),  {ji),  (76), 
and  {j']^^  making  a  =  i,  they  will  be  too  great ;  while  if  a  is 
made  equal  to  sec  co,  or  even  sec  ^,  they  will  be  too  small ; 
and  the  correct  value  of  each  element  would  be  found  by 
giving  to  a  some  value  intermediate  to  the  two.  Moreover, 
the  value  of  a  which  would  give  the  exact  range  would  not 
give  the  exact  time  of  flight  or  terminal  velocity.  These 
principles  are  further  illustrated  by  the  follow^ing  numerical 
results,  calculated  from  the  data,  F=  1404  f.  s. ;  ^=10°; 
w  z=z  183  lbs.,  and  <^=  8  in. :

co=-ifif  fti  =  -i3°23' 

T=if.04  T=12\SS 

As  the  true  values  of  these  elements  lie  between  those 
we  have  computed,  it  will  be  seen  that  either  set  of  values 
is  correct  enough  for  most  purposes.  It  is,  therefore,  ap- 
parent that  in  direct  fire  we  may  give  to  a  that  value  which 
shall  reduce  the  above  equations  to  their  simplest  forms,  pro- 
vided it  lies  between  the  limits  a=  i  and  a  =  sec  (p.

problems  of  direct  fire. 

Problem  i. — Given  the  initial  velocity  and  angle  of  pro- 
jection, to  determine  the  range,  time  of  flight,  angle  of  fall,  and

We  have  [equation  (86)]

computed  by  the  equations

For  curved  fire  we  may  proceed  as  follows:  We  have, 
from  the  origin  to  the  summit, 

Now,  if  we  assume  tiiat  the  time  from  the  point  of  pro- 
jection to  the  summit  is  one-half  the  time  of  flight,  we  shall 
have,  from  the  above  expressions  for  7' and  4, 

r(7;)  =  2  T{v^-T{y) 
which  gives  z^  by  means  of  the  7^-functions,  v^  being  computed 
bv  the  equation 

derived  from  (82).

Example. — An  8-inch    service   projectile  is   fired  with  an 
initial  velocity  of  1404  f.  s.  from  a  point  33  feet  above  the 
water;   find  the  necessary   angle  of  projection    to   attain  a

it  is  desired  to  place  a  target  at  such  a  distance  from  the 
gun  that  the  projectile  (solid  shot  weighing  450  lbs.)  shall 
have  a  velocity  of  1000  f.  s.  when  it  reaches  the  target,  and 
this  without  diminishing  the  muzzle  velocity,  which  is  1534 
f.  s.  What  is  the  required  distance  and  the  angle  of  pro- 
jection ?

cd'    d 
in  which  d^  is  the  adopted  standard  density  of  the  air,  and  d 
the  density  at  the  time  of  firing. 

In  computing  Tables  I.  and  II.  the  value  of  d^  was  taken 
as  the  weight,  in  grains,  of  a  cubic  foot  of  air  at  a  tempera- 
ture of  62°  F.  and  a  pressure  of  30  inches  of  mercury.  Ac- 
cording to  Bashforth  we  have 

'^z  =  534-22  grs. 

For  any  other  temperature  (/),  and  barometric  pressure 
{b)j  we  may  determine  the  value  of  d  near  enough  for  most 
practical  purposes  by  the  following  simple  equation:

Correction  for  Altitude. — When  a  projectile  is  fired 
at  such  an  angle  of  projection  as  to  reach  a  great  altitude  in 
its  flight,  the  value  of  o,  determined  as  above,  will  be  too 
great.  We  may  calculate  0  approximately,  in  this  case,  as 
follows : 

If  o'  is  the  density  of  the  air  at  the  height  y  above  the 
surface  of  the  earth,  we  shall  have

computing.

The  following  table  gives  the  values  of  ^-a.  for  every  lOO

value  for  a  temperature  of  15°  C.  and  barometer  at  o"'.75.

BALLISTIC  TABLES. 


The  term  ''Ballistic  Table"  was  applied  by  Siacci  to 
tlie  tabulated  values  of  the  funclions  S{v),  A  {v),  I{v),  and 
7\v).  Table  L  g-ives  the  values  of  these  functions  for  ob- 
long projectiles  having  ogival  heads  struck  with  radii  of  i| 
calibers.  It  is  based  upon  the  experiments  of  Bashforth, 
and  was  calculated  by  the  formulas  developed  in  the  preced- 
ing pages. 

The  table  extends  from  z/=28oo  to  ^  =  400,  which  limits 
are  extensive  enough  for  the  solution  of  nearly  all  practical 
problems  of  exterior  ballistics.  It  may  occasionally  happen 
in  mortar  practice  that  the  horizontal  velocity  {v  cos  <f)  may 
be  less  than  400  (as  in  problem  4,  Chapter  V.)  In  such 
cases  we  may  employ  the  formulas  by  which  this  part  of  the 
table  was  computed,  viz.: 

5  (v)  =  124466.4  -  [4.59i833(>]  log  ^ 

A  (v)  =  [9.6655206]  -^  -f  [4.1438598]  log  V  -  45916.40 

/(^)  =  [5.7369333]  ^  -  0.356474 
T{v)  =  [4.2296173]  ^  -  12.4999 

Example  i.— Let  (^=8  in.,  w  =  180  lbs.,  F=  700  f.  s.,  and 
^  =  60°.     Find  V  when  ^  =  —  60°.

Table  II.  is  the  ballistic  table  for  spherical  projectiles, 
and  extends  from  z^=  2000  to  ^^  =  450.  It  is  based  upon  the 
Russian  experiments  discussed  in  Chapter  II.,  and  is  be- 
lieved to  be  the  only  ballistic  table  for  spherical  projectiles 
yet  published.
