See the book The Effects of Nuclear Weapons for equations. My copy came with a circular slide rule that calculates that for optimal altitude airburst and surface burst over a yield range of 1 KTon to 10 MTon. It also calculates many other effects.

The circumference of a circle is calculated by multiplying the radius by 2xPI PI is approximately 3.141 This means the radius can be calculated by dividing the circumference by 2xPI
Little Boy was the nuclear bomb detonated over Hiroshima. It used uranium and had an explosive blast equivalent to 12,500 tons of TNT. A 1 megaton hydrogen bomb, hypothetically detonated on the earth's surface, has about 80 times the blast power of that 1945 explosion. Considering the tonnage of a bomb to be contant, The blast radius varies dependent on whether it is a ground burst or an airburst. Further, the height of the airburst above ground affects the radius too. At a height of 1900 feet above ground, Little Boy produced a blast radius of 1 mile; an area of some 4.7 square miles.

Circumference is calculated by 2pr So if you know the circumference, divide by 2, and then divide by p That answer will be the radius
1. The radius of a circle is half of its diameter.2. The radius can also be calculated from its circumference (C).Method: Divide the circumference by Pi, this will give you the diameter. Then divide the diameter by 2 to get the radius (r).Formula: r = C/2π3. The radius can also be calculated from the area of the circle. Area = π x r2So, divide area by Pi, then the radius will be the square root of the answer.For more information, try the Related links below.
