A Japanese 20 mm projectile with the properties given later impacts the 1/2 in. thick aluminum armor plate on the rear gun mount of a US plane at 30° obliquity. If the projectile and the armor have the properties given later, Determine how deep the projectile will penetrate into the armor (assume μ = 0.03).Answer: P = 53.1 [mm] = 2.09 [in.]If the projectile perforates the armor, determine its residual velocity.Answer: Vr=423[ms]

To examine the amphibious rifle's movement underwater, a test gun mount (see Figure 1) and a water tank (see Figure 2) were developed. The mount is divided into two sections: the upper piece is mounted to the amphibious rifle, while the lower section glides along the sliding rails. Additionally, a spring secures the mount's top section to the fixed portion.
