During World War II, the Manhattan Project developed the first nuclear weapon and detonated it
in 1945 at the Trinity test. The explosive yield of the bomb was classified by the U.S. Army;
however, in 1950 British physicist Sir Geoffrey Taylor made a good estimate of the yield based
on publicly available photographs and data. He developed an equation that linked several key
test and used it to calculate the yield: R = S (Et^2/rho)^1/5 R is the blast radius in meters; t is
seconds after the detonation, rho (the Greek letter rho) is the air density at the blast site; S is a
constant describing the heat capacity of the air; and E is the energy released by the bomb in
joules. (1 joule (J) = 1 kg middot m^2/s^2). From the available atmospheric data, Taylor
concluded that S = 1.041 and rho = 1.00 kg/m^3. By studying a picture of the blast taken at t =
0.025, the estimated that the blast radius was 140 similar meters. Explosive yield is often
described by how much TNT would be required to produce a similar explosion. The explosive
force of 1 kiloton (kt) of TNT is approximately 4.184 Times 10^12 joules. Rearrange Taylor's
equation to give you a formula for the yield of the bomb in kilotons. Calculate the yield of the
Trinity bomb to the nearest kiloton. Taylor's estimate was lower than the actual yield of 20.08
kilotons. Which quantities might he have underestimated when using them in his equations?
Which might he have overestimated?
