Question

Problem III: (20points) The first atomic bomb test was carried in New Mexico (USA) in 1945. A series of photos of time lapses of the explosion was published few years later. A British physicist G.I. Taylor*, used these photos combined with dimensional analysis to estimate the energy released by the explosion, which was still a secret at the time! Read about this and explain how this was done. Discuss and comment on any limitations or assumptions that were needed to reach the result.
