A shaped charge anti-tank weapon with copper (density: 8960kgm3) liner was fired
towards a heavily armoured vehicle. A rod like jet with a length of 200 mm impacts
the composite armour that comprises 20 mm thick tungsten (density: 19300 kg /
m3),60 mm thick steel (density: 7850kgm3),20 mm thick aluminium (density.
2700kgm3), and 20 mm titanium (density: 4510kgm3). The tip of jet is travelling
at 5.9kms. Assuming that one-dimensional penctration and all materials are
strengthless, what is the length of the jet that perforated the armour and flied into
the vehicle?
