9.6 Modified Point Mass Trajectory
Problem 40 - The Paris gun was built by Germany in the First World War to shell Paris from 75
miles away. The weapon was a 210 mm diameter bore with the shells pre-engraved to account
for wear of the tube. During firing of this weapon all things such as wind effects, Coriolis etc.
had to be accounted for. When the United States entered the war, the doughboys (the nickname
for American troops) were to take the St. Mihiel salient where the gun was located. We shall
assume that the Germans have turned the gun to fire on the Americans. The projectile is at some
point in space defined below. To demonstrate your knowledge of the Modified Point Mass
equations please
a) DRAW the situation
b) Calculate the vector yaw of repose for this projectile: use equation (8.6.16)
R
c) Write the acceleration vector for this projectile: use equation (8.6.29)
at the instant in its trajectory when the velocity (relative to the ground) is 2100 ft/s and the
conditions below apply.
Note: You don’t need all of the information below It is provided to you so you can
compare the differences in formulations with the 6-DOF model.
d) Why don’t we need to obtain the angular acceleration vector dh/dt?

Problem 41 - If we were to use a modified point mass assumption for both of the cases sited in
problem P 8.5.2
a) Calculate the vector yaw of repose for both cases

b) Draw and explain what this vector represents
c) Comment on whether this model is applicable for each case and why
Solution: For a spin stabilized projectile, the vector yaw of repose was given as follows:
In either case we need to calculate v × dV/dt for each case. We shall start with the round fired
from the AC-130. In this case we have
