waves - Power of Shockwaves



My question is about shockwaves and their power when they are created/how do they lose their power?


Let's say that we have ground 0 with 10 grams of TATP on it. The detonation velocity of TATP is 5,300m/s. How can we calculate the pressure it will make and the shockwave's power when it is detonated. Also,how can we calculate how fast the shockwave will lose power?

classical mechanics - Moment of a force about a given axis (Torque) - Scalar or vectorial?

I am studying Statics and saw that: The moment of a force about a given axis (or Torque) is defined by the equation: $M_X = (\vec r \times \...
