sevenswellsAny chance any of you knows his/her way around physics and math? I've got a very specific question to ask, for a fic. If you have the answer to that I will be forever grateful.
Say, if you drop by airplane a cast-iron kitchen sink (approx. 130 pounds) at an altitude of 6000 meters; say that drop speed is about more than 200 km per hour (if I'm not mistaken), would it be enough for said sink to smash into a concrete slab (for the foundations of a small building, like a house; let's say the height of the slab is about 40 cm) down below, and how much damage will it do? Like, how deep would the sink land? Any chance it would shatter the slab?
I know, that's very precise, but if you've any idea, I'd be glad to know the answer and will love you forever.
