If we recall Equation 3.16, we can write

The total linear momentum of the system (neglecting the weapon) is
Mom= Mom +Mom

The linear momentum of the projectile is

So the Lagrange approximation for linear momentum is

Because we are looking for the parameters, we can readily measure breech pressure and
muzzle velocity, and we must develop predictive equations for them, i.e., equations for
pressure in terms of charge parameters and equations of motion of the projectile. To do
this, we adopt a Lagrangia ...
