Homework Statement


A pipe end stop fails when subjected to high pressure and flys of the pipe before impacting with a polycarbonate protective screen.
The end stop has a mass of 100g and is 12.7mm dia. as is the internal diameter of the pipe. The instantaneous pressure that the end stop fails at is 1000 Bar.

My problem is:
a) What is the intitial velocity of the pipe stop at point of failure?
b) What is the velocity of the pipe stop 1m from the point of failure?
c) What is the energy of the pipe stop, at the point of impact with the polycarbonate screen?
