From well-known mechanical laws, the resistance which these projectiles are capable of overcoming is equal to 33,750 pounds and 1,914,150 pounds, raised one foot in a second respectively. Making allowances for the differences of the diameters of these projectiles, it will be found that their penetrating power will be 1 to 19.6. The penetration of the 24-pounder shot at 3,500ヤード (3,200 m), in brick work, is 6インチ (150 mm). The penetration of the 10-インチ (250 mm) projectile will therefore be between six and seven feet into the same material.
