Go back to school already

Nuclear explosions are not good propellants.

and push the tungsten cylinder to retarded speeds.
needs more water though.

Don't you have summer homework to be doing?

it'd be easier to speed something up orbiting a planet then slingshotting it at your target rather than that bullshit.

What effects would this have on a city? I made the math and this would deliver 60000000 Newtons of force.

You did the math wrong, you fucking clown. You don't "deliver" force, you deliver energy or change in momentum. Also, you calculated force as m*v (which is momentum, not force). IF the steel plate in its entirety was projected, and then subsequently FULLY STOPPED on something, then yes, it would have delivered 59.4E6 kg*m/s on something, but this wouldn't happen.

As far as what effects it would have on a city, not much. If you read the wiki article, it says the steel plate was likely disintegrated from the compression heating of the atmosphere. Any amount of energy it was carrying would be quickly bled into thermal energy around the steel plate as it moved, and the plate would rip itself apart. A cloud of hot dust would spread as it travelled, and particulates have a high surface area to volume ratio. These metal particles would quickly lose this thermal energy to the air through convective and radiative cooling. You think of it as a 2000 lb hunk of superhot metal flying through the air. It's more akin to a cloud of hot dust farted out of the blast range. As always, the nuke is of much more concern than the aftereffects or radiation.

tl;dr 900 kg of dust spread over ~25 sq. mi of a city would do fuck all.
