MEASUREMENT OF THE MOMENTUM REACTIVE FORCE PRODUCED BY A PULSED OPTICAL DISCHARGE BY MEANS OF A BALLISTIC PENDULUM
In this paper, we propose to measure the momentum of the laser rocket engine produced at the initiation of the optical pulsed nanosecond discharge in camera, using a ballistic pendulum. We obtained formula for measuring the pulse as a function of the oscillation period T, the mass pendulum m and movement of the pendulum z and formula is derived estimates of measurement error pulse. The experiment was carried out using the methods of mathematical and statistical data processing. The estimation of the coefficient C <sub>m</sub>.
