BALLISTIC EQUATIONS FOR ARTILLERY SHELLS

Abstract

A set of equations describing the motion of artillery shells for convenient solution by computer is derived. The effect of mass unbalance is taken into account. The equations are set up in an inertial coordinate system, and the effect of the rotation of the earth is included.
