This is the problem i am trying to solve. It is forensic in nature.
I have a video of two floors of a burning building collapsing from explosives. The explosives created overpressure. I am trying to infer how much explosives might have been used. I figured out the air volume of the two floors. I can visually estimate the volume of ejected smoke clouds at a few places during collapse. It appears that equal amounts of clouds ejected on all sides of the buildings as it collapsed. Problem, the clouds continue to expand significantly a few moments after the collapse and the video does not give me a full picture.
Question #1: How can i infer the air volume of the overpressure?
Once i know this, i can determine the quantity of explosives. My ability is basic Newtonian physics. This gas stuff is starting to get above my head. I appreciate the guidance!
