Model of the projectile


\begin{displaymath}
M_p\ddot{\bf z_p}= \sum_{j}
\frac{F_{pj}({\bf \vert z_p -z_j\vert})}{{\bf \vert z_p -z_j\vert}}({\bf z_p -z_j})
\end{displaymath} (7)

similar to (4), but the force $F_{pj}$ is found from the equation
\begin{displaymath}
F_{pj}(z)= \left\{ \begin{array}{lll}
0 & \mbox{if} & z > B...
...\leq B \\
+ \infty & \mbox{if} & z \leq A
\end{array} \right.
\end{displaymath} (8)

$A = 0.5L,  B = 2L$.
