Abstract

During the World War I, the German army showed a great armament power, designing weapons that go beyond to the ever known technological and physical limits at that time. Among these, the most remarkable gun was the Wilhemgeschutze, known as Paris gun. It surpassed almost three times the range of the best cannons of the time, and for the first time is reached the stratosphere by a projectile. In this paper, we use the reported data of the gun during the bombard to Paris, to develop a mathematical and computational model, that describes the trajectory of a Paris gun projectile. The model considers the drag force, gravity, centrifugal force and Coriolis effect. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
