a. Use dimensional analysis to establish the cube-root law:

for scaling of explosions, where r is the radius or depth of the craterρ, is the density of the soil medium, and W the mass of the explosive.

b. Use dimensional analysis to establish the one-fourth-root law:

for scaling of explosions, where r is the radius or depth of the crater ρ is the density of the soil medium, g is gravity, and E is the charge energy of the explosive.
